Rolling Along with the New Chuck Wagon

Oklahoma History Center

 

The Oklahoma History Center's new Chuck Wagon hit the ground rolling in March with the museums first Cowboy Round Up.  Over the past several months staff, with the help of museum volunteers, has put together an excellent example of a 1870s chuck wagon. Lynn Shackelford, OHC volunteer, spent countless hours assembling the chuck boxNew Chuck Wagon and making repairs to the wagon. 

 

The wagon is fully outfitted with ovens, eating utensils, props and more.  With the use of staff and volunteer interpreters the History Center can recreate a working cowboy camp making their way north along the Chisholm Trail.  Acquiring and reconstructing a working chuck wagon will allow us the opportunities to visit schools, set up at community festivals, and provide unique programming at the History Center. 

 

If you would like to find out more about supporting the History Center with outreach opportunities to schools or would like to invite the wagon to a community function please contact Jason Harris at jharris@okhistory.org or 405-522-0785.

The Importance of History...
 
"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped.  Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope."
