Spanning the Centuries with History and Hospitality
The first Capital of Oklahoma is a National Historic Landmark combining the Spirit of Oklahoma Territory with charm and ambience rivaling the finest vacation destinations in America.
Our history is rich with tales of times gone by ... tales of ranchers and railroads, of politics and patriots ... of the Land Run of 1889 when the vast prairie became the Oklahoma Territory and overnight, the City of Guthrie was born 10,000 strong. We have preserved the legacy of these pioneers in our architecture and our antique brick walkways. It is with pride and an abiding love of our history that we welcome you!
Enjoy your stay in one of our luxurious B&Bs or Inns. Our nineteenth century architecture, unique museums and delightful shops, galleries, and eateries await you.
You're cordially invited to stay a day ... or stay a lifetime!

About Guthrie
Guthrie is located in Logan County in Central Oklahoma. It is an established and growing tourist destination, with several unique attractions drawing approximately 250,000 visitors annually from throughout the country. It has a separate and distinct community character based on a restored turn-of-the century Capital City. Downtown Guthrie has been designated as a National Historic Landmark and is nationally significant because of its outstanding collection of beautifully restored late nineteenth and early twentieth century commercial architecture.
Guthrie is located just off Interstate 35, which is easily accessible to major centers: including Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Wichita, Kansas. There are high volume traffic counts on nearby highway systems. Though Guthrie has the feel of a country village, 36% of the states population lives within 50 miles. The low land costs and reasonable tax structure make Guthrie an attractive choice for business and families.
