Guthrie Noon Lions Club donates $1,000 to Sports Museum

The Guthrie Noon Lions Club has recently donated $1,000 to the Territorial Capital Sports Museum to assist with their operation and expansion.

Lion President John Wood presents a check for $1,000 to Richard Hendricks, Director of Territorial Capital Sports Museum.

Lions President John Wood noted, “The Sports Museum is a wonderful gift to the citizens of Guthrie and the people of Oklahoma. It honors and recognizes the athletic achievements of Oklahomans in numerous sporting venues. The continued operation of this historical treasure is very important to all of us and for that reason we feel compelled to again contribute to its ongoing operation and success.”

Richard Hendricks, Museum Director, in accepting the check from President Wood commented, “The Territorial Capital Sports Museum has one of the finest collections of “Oklahoma Sporting Achievement” in the entire state. We have fascinating and historically significant sporting memorabilia from Oklahoma athletes: male and female; football, baseball, basketball, golf and rodeo and many other sporting activities. It is your museum honoring your people. This donation by the Guthrie Noon Lions Club is greatly appreciated!”

The Territorial Capital Sports Museum is located at 315 West Oklahoma in Guthrie. The hours of operation are Tuesday through Saturday from 10AM to 4PM.
