In the days before Statehood in Indian Territory, Judge Parker commissioned marshalls to keep the law in Oklahoma. These were commonly called Guardsmen of Oklahoma, and included many well known names. This Saturday (4/27) we are privileged host at least 10 of these historic characters at the museum. Come see them while touring the “Voices and Votes” Smithsonian exhibit. Open from 10:00 to 4:00. Here is a bit of description of the group:

“​We are Oklahoma’s ambassadors of historical Oklahoma/Indian Territory law enforcement. We are available to present our historical re-enactments for groups of most any size. We do not act out any quickdraw or shootout exhibitions; rather, we share, in the first person, historically correct information about the characters whom we represent. Our characters include the following: Judge Isaac C. Parker; Deputy U.S. Marshals Heck Thomas, Bill Tilghman, Chris Madsen, Bass Reeves, and Frank “Pistol Pete” Eaton.”
