Murrell Home
Park Hill, Oklahoma
The historic Murrell Home at Park Hill will be hosting its 12th Annual Christmas Open House on Sunday, December 9, 2012, from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.
Visitors are invited to tour the 1845 mansion and learn about Christmas customs from the mid-Victorian period. The halls will be decked in Christmas fashions of the 1800s, and live music will fill the air. The Friends of the Murrell Home will sponsor a reception with refreshments.
The Murrell Home Christmas Open House is free and open to the public, but donations are appreciated. The museum is located three miles south of Tahlequah at 19479 E. Murrell Home Rd. in Park Hill. The 1845 plantation home was the residence of George and Minerva (Ross) Murrell, and it is a National Historic Landmark.

Oklahoma History Legacy Circle Created
The Oklahoma Historical Society has created the Oklahoma History Legacy Circle to recognize donors, both living and deceased, who have made contributions to one of the OHS's endowment funds. Because endowment donations provide perpetual income to the OHS, membership in the Legacy Circle also is perpetual.
A minimum endowment contribution in the amount of $1,000.00 qualifies a donor to be a Legacy Circle member. Individuals who have already made a commitment in their wills or estate plans to support the endowment may be included by informing Paul Lambert (plambert@okhistory.org or 405-522-5217) or Shelly Crynes (scrynes@okhistory.org or 405-522-0317) of their commitment. Listed below is the Oklahoma History Legacy Circle membership as of October 31, 2012.
