It was small but had a lot of information. There is a lot to learn about the Commanche history. They have an interactive game that was great for kids as well as adults. They gave cool souvenirs. Right by the visitors center.
Free admission and very friendly staff. Gave everyone shirts and pens. Very informative and interesting place
Allow more than the suggested 2 hours if you really like Western history. The volunteers working there really know their stuff!
This was worth seeing if you have the time. It gives you a good perspective on the Comanche's role in Fort Sill. The woman at the counter had a great story of her ancesters and worth asking her about.
This is a small museum and the exhibits that they do have a well done. However it is small and could use some expansion. They have special exhibits that come and go, and currently it is the Code Talkers from WWII. Definitely worth a visit .
A nice small museum that teaches you about the history of the Comanche and the code talkers. We enjoyed talking with the gentleman at the front desk. He was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had before and after our visit. It is worth the time to walk through and learn about the history do the Comanche and how they helped with the WWII.
Excellent museum and well put together. Learned alot about Code Talkers and the Comanches in general.
My wife and I, as well as a couple of our granddaughters, visited this museum and enjoyed the visit. There is no charge for admission. The museum isn’t large, but the kids were kept busy with a scavenger hunt to look for items in paintings that were on exhibit. I enjoyed the exhibit regarding the Comanche code talkers – predecessors to any other Native-American tribe that provided code talkers. The people at the museum were very kind and gave each of the kids a white buffalo. Ask for a “Discovery Trail” card that you can get stamped at any of 8 Lawton area attractions and receive a free gift. You can get a nice blue Comanche museum back sack when they stamp your card.
We show up at 8 am when they first open and they are more than ready to receive us. The staff is so sweet and open, sharing their history with you.It is a small museum but it gives you a picture of the Comanche tribes: history, culture, artwork and of course the coder.Free admission, and parking.Do pay them a visit, memorable experience.
A small but nice museum. Had a long conversation with curator and learned quite a bit about the Comanche involvement in WWII and other things. Absolutely worth a visit if your in the area, coupled with a visit to the Museum of the Great Plains which is in the same area.
