Fort Sill National Historic Landmark and Museum | Lawton Oklahoma
Welcome to Fort Sill National Historic Landmark and Museum in Lawton Oklahoma. We recently visited this great little museum that shows the history of the early days of the Indian territory. The Apache tribes were brought here from Florida and Alabama prisons.
Later many other tribes were forced to come to Fort Sill, Comanche, Kiowa and the Southern Cheyennes just to name a few. The leader of the Comanche, Quanah Parker was forced to give up and learn new ways. He was the last of the Indian resistance in the southwest plains. Though Quanah Parker was never elected chief by his people, the US government appointed him to be the chief of all the Cheroke nation. There is some great reading at the following sites: and

Afternoon- After lunch we'll tour the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center. We'll take a seat in the museum's theater to experience what the Chisholm Trail was like as we smell the coffee and bacon from the chuck wagon see the lightning and feel the wind blow and the ground shake as the cattle stampede.

Lawton, Oklahoma
The city of Lawton is the county seat of Comanche County, in the State of Oklahoma. Located in southwestern Oklahoma, about southwest of Oklahoma City, it is the principal city of the Lawton, Oklahoma Metropolitan Statistical Area. According to the 2010 census, Lawton's population was 96,867, making it the fifth-largest city in the state.
Built on former reservation lands of Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache Indians, Lawton was founded on 6 August 1901, and was named after Major General Henry Ware Lawton, a Civil War Medal of Honor recipient killed in action in the Philippine–American War. Lawton's landscape is typical of the Great Plains, with flat topography and gently rolling hills, while the area north of the city is marked by the Wichita Mountains.
The city's proximity to Fort Sill Military Reservation gave Lawton economic and population stability throughout the 20th century. Although Lawton's economy is still largely dependent on Fort Sill, it has also grown to encompass manufacturing, higher education, health care, and retail. The city's government is run by a council-manager government consisting of a city manager and a city council headed by a mayor. Interstate 44 and three major United States highways serve the city, while Lawton-Fort Sill Regional Airport connects Lawton by air. Recreation can be found at the city's many parks, lakes, museums, and festivals. Notable residents of the city include many musical and literary artists, as well as several professional athletes.
The land that is present-day Oklahoma was first settled by prehistoric American Indians including the Clovis 11500 BCE, Folsom 10600 BCE and Plainview 10000 BCE cultures. Historic indigenous peoples who inhabited the region included the Wichita and Caddo peoples. In the 16th century, Spanish explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado visited in 1541, beginning European contact. Around the ...

Faces of America Comanche
The Comanche are a Native American nation from the Great Plains whose historic territory consisted of most of present-day northwestern Texas and adjacent areas in eastern New Mexico, southeastern Colorado, southwestern Kansas, western Oklahoma, and northern Chihuahua. The Comanche people are federally recognized as the Comanche Nation, headquartered in Lawton, Oklahoma. The Comanche were the dominant tribe on the southern Great Plains in the 18th and 19th centuries. They are often characterized as Lords of the Plains and, reflecting their prominence, they presided over a large area called Comancheria which a modern historian has characterized as the Comanche Empire. Comanche power was based on bison, horses, trading, and raiding. They hunted the bison of the Great Plains for food and skins; their adoption of the horse from Spanish colonists in New Mexico made them more mobile; they traded with the Spanish, French, Americans and neighboring Native American peoples; and (most famously) they waged war on and raided European settlements as well as other Native Americans.
