Moore-Lindsay Historical House Museum

The Moore-Lindsay Historical House is a Victorian home built in 1899. Today, this house serves as a museum dedicated to displaying artifacts that depict life in Cleveland County, Oklahoma Territory, at the turn of the twentieth century.

Exhibits

Guided tours of the Moore-Lindsay House are offered at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm, and self-guided tours are allowed anytime between 11am and 4pm.

Visitors will be able to explore the historical house and view our current exhibit, "Sundown: An Examination of Norman's History as a Racist Sundown Town".

Please note that this exhibit discusses difficult topics and includes historical sources which may use offensive language. This exhibit is intended to enlighten and educate, not to offend, but please be prepared to experience discomfort as you learn about the raw realities of racism in early Oklahoma.

Running alongside "Sundown" is a small exhibit entitled "Thirteen All-Black Towns of Oklahoma," provided by the Oklahoma History Center.
