Bristow Historical Museum & Train Depot
Bristow Historical Museum & Train Depot
Travel back to the 1890s, when Bristow originated near a railroad track between Sapulpa and Oklahoma City. At the restored Bristow Historical Depot and Town Square, you'll feel like you’ve stepped back in time as you step on the original wood floors from 1923 and see the ticket counters, desks, equipment and railroad items. The Bristow depot is the only Frisco Train Depot from the original line still standing, and today it is home to a community museum including information about Indian Territory, Route 66 and Oklahoma’s rail history.
Spend time with the Bristow Area Chamber of Commerce, housed in the one-story brick building originally constructed in 1923. Learn about notable people with ties to Bristow, like Gene Autry, who once served as a telegrapher in this exact historical depot, formerly known as the Frisco Train Depot. Several knowledgeable museum volunteers are on-site at the depot to answer any questions about the town of Bristow and the railroad depot. After your tour of the museum, let the kids climb aboard the Frisco Train caboose and then have a picnic at Depot Plaza underneath several shady trees.
