The Territorial Capital Sports Museum celebrated 20 years on Saturday with a banquet featuring some of the great Oklahoma athletes.
The sports museum, located at 315 W. Oklahoma, featured baseball greats Ferguson Jenkins, Fred Moulder, Mickey Tettleton, Don Demeter and Gene Stephenson as well as other stand-outs, including runner Camille Herron and basketball star Gene Johnson.
The athletes were on hand to sign autographs and take in the countless number of artifacts in the downtown buildings.
The museum displays sports traditions with historical memorabilia and has been a project that came to fruition in 1993 when the Oklahoma ports Museum Association opened the Oklahoma Sports Museum in Guthrie.
Recently, the Museum takes on a new life as the Territorial Capital Sports Museum. It’s new name honors Guthrie, the First Territorial and State Capital of the Oklahoma Territory and the State of Oklahoma.
