Discover the past at Turkey Creek School |

The Turkey Creek School is the original one-room schoolhouse, built in 1896, 10 miles southwest of Enid. Like all historic buildings in the Humphrey Heritage Village, the schoolhouse is open to the public during the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center’s open hours, and Field trips to Turkey Creek School are available and offer an in-depth day of learning designed to replicate a 1910 one-room schoolhouse experience. For more information about visiting or scheduling a field trip to Turkey Creek School, call the museum’s education department at 580-237-1907.

We empower educators!
The Oklahoma Historical Society has partnered with John Erling and his oral history project, Voices of Oklahoma.
Through practical tips and guides for educators, the project enables teachers in Oklahoma and across the country to incorporate our oral histories into their lessons.
Through countless interviews, students can experience history through a large oral history library. Students get a rare chance to learn directly from those who lived through and shaped historic events.
