This is such a lovely placed dedicated to the men and women who have served in the 45th. My son is serving in the Guard under the 45th. The grounds and static displays are a wonderful place to view some of the historical machines that have helped keep our country free. Love this place. More

I take everyone to this museum. I warn them that it is need of some updates inside and paint, but it's totally free and has incredible artifacts. Make sure you take the time to wander the grounds and check out all the aircrafts on display, they even have picnic tables so bring some snacks and stay awhile. The inside of... More

I took my son to see the museum on an off-day (during the week if I remember correctly) and found that we had the place to ouselves. A lone employee (volunteer?) was there and and gave us a personally guided tour with many, many interesting facts and stories. I cannot recommend this place strongly enough! Great time! More

So much to see here. The Hitler items and the Dacheau are a bit creepy, but important to remember. Besides the incredibly large collection of guns, there are fun things like personal items from soldiers and the collection of cartoons. Well worth the stop. More

I never knew how much information was housed in this museum until we went on a Saturday morning. It's free and there's a lot of equipment on display outside as well. What impressed me about this museum was the outstanding collection of memorabilia AND the gentleman who greeted us as we entered the building. He was a WW II vet... More

I was unsure about the 45th Infantry Division Museum but, it was amazing. I definitely want to go back. There were so many weapons and vehicles. They have a lot to see and weapons that were used in war. I would recommended this to anyone who has a interest in military history. More

The 45th Infantry Museum is a credit to Oklahoma and to our military. It has fascinating huge indoor series of exhibits with memorabilia from several wars and arms of all different types. One room contains a wonderful display of Ernie Pyle cartoons from World War II. Many of them are unique, original, and one-of-a-kind examples of battlefield art. They will... More
