9 Cemeteries in Oklahoma That You Shouldn't Miss

April 12, 2022 Harland Bartelt

With hundreds of man-made lakes, state parks, casinos, museums and nightlife and dining opportunities in revitalized downtown areas in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, there is a lot to see and do in the Sooner State. The state is dotted with phenomenal lakes where swimming, boating and bass fishing are the most desired activities. Some of the state’s most popular lakes include Broken Bow Lake located near the Quachita Mountains; Grand Lake in the northeastern corner of the state at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains and Lake Murray in the hills in the southern part of the state. While the state is known for its many outdoor activities like great fishing, golf, hiking, canoeing and boating, make sure you don’t overlook its fantastic museums. Heading the list are Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, featuring the world’s largest collection of art and artifacts from the American West; the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, which tells the story of the American Cowboy; and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, which has a permanent collection of American and European art. A venerable family favorite activity is Frontier City Amusement Park in Oklahoma City, which has dozens of rides and shows.

Geronimo's Grave

Reviewed By 90kathrynk - Houston, United States

I found it interesting to visit Geronimo's grave. It is located in a very small cemetery at Ft. Sill. In order to appreciate the graveyard and grave site, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with Geronimo and his life. He was a Prisoner of War and lived in his final years at Ft. Sill.

This cemetery was one of the most interesting places I have ever visited! Our group spent hours viewing old headstones of the circus performers and we are great fans of the bull riders - we loved it. Very respectful resting place for these celebrities!
