Publishing
State Capital Publishing Museum
The publishing company of the State Capital Newspaper was in operation until 1911. The Cooperative Publishing Company operated in the building until 1973, when the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1975 the building was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society to be used as a publishing museum.
This museum, which tells the story of the State Capital Company, the settlement of Guthrie, early Oklahoma history and the printing and publishing industry at the turn of the century provides a unique opportunity for visitors to look back into the turn-of-the-century world of Oklahoma publishing.

 International Model Train and Automobile Museum (IMTAM)

Eight model layouts currently exhibiting including O, N, HO, and Z scale layouts.

Model train layouts portray both American and European rolling stock and buildings.  Models built by Marklin, Hornby, Con-Cor, MTH, Lionel, Jamco-Pacific, and others are exhibited.  All layouts are professionally constructed and are fully complete.  Several are currently under expansion, and new features and equipment are being added continually.

Model Automobile exhibits are currently under construction.  These exhibits will consist of fine quality die-cast models of hundreds of antique and modern automobiles in 1:48, 1:24, and 1:18 scales.

Our exhibit hall is continually hosted by knowledgeable hosts, who can explain and describe all of our exhibits as well as railroad history in general.  We are located immediately adjacent to the active BNSF railroad main line, so you can generally see full size prototype trains operating within 5 to 10 feet of your face.  If you are lucky, you might be able to talk to BNSF engineers and conductors as they enter The Old Harvey House Bakery Cafe Pizzaria to consume the delicious delectable's sold there.  They are very friendly and usually quite willing to answer your questions, as are our museum hosts.

If you wish to bring large groups to the museum or restaurant, please advise us in advance so that we will be able to have sufficient hosts present to assist your group.

Admission to the museum is free, donations are accepted.
