February 5, 2014 Special Gallery Opening Sunday, February 9 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Oklahoma History Center | Oklahoma City, OK On Sunday, February 9, the Oklahoma History Center will host a special opening of the newly renovated Kerr-McGee Gallery for OHS members from 2 to 4 p.m. The gallery features new expanded exhibits with major updates and all new content and artifacts. Included are exhibits on the steamboat Heroine, the African American experience in Oklahoma, Oklahoma military history, and the oil and gas industry. On May 6, 1838, a steamboat called Heroine was traveling up the Red River to deliver supplies to Fort Towson in what is now Choctaw County in southeast Oklahoma when it struck a submerged log and sank. Pieces of the ship and some of its contents have been collected and are now on display, 175 years later. Interactive touchscreens, hands-on elements, reconstructed machinery, and excavated artifacts tell the story of the earliest steamboat to be recovered and studied by archaeologists. Visitors will not only get a glimpse of life during this formative period in US history, but also will experience the mystery of the Heroine and how its story was brought to light through archaeological evidence and historical research.
