Lawton is home of the Museum of the Great Plains which shows the history of the area.
Kids love the outdoor train and trading post exhibits.
They can also check out a mammoth skull and a tipi inside the museum. Next door to the museum is the Percussive Arts Society featuring a history of percussive instruments and famous musicians and also a hands-on exhibit that the kids will love. Much of Jed's information for the Hometown Forecast is courtesy of Sarah Taylor, author of the Exploring Oklahoma series of books.
