Established in 1968. Purchased in 1944 as a place for a summer home, Harvey and Bernice Jones never expected to build an antique village. It was established in 1968 when Harvey built Bernice a church on the banks of the lake from bricks handmade before the civil war. Bernice named the Village by using the first three letters of each of their first names. Numerous buildings were added as the Joneses needed places to display the antiques and collectibles they gathered over the years. 98% of the items in Har-ber Village were purchased by the Joneses and the rest was donated. Har-Ber Village Museum's Mission is to collect and preserve historical items, authentic to the American experience, for the whole family to enjoy and understand within a scenic and inspirational setting. Remember the Past, Celebrate the Present, Imagine the Future!

As the 250th anniversary of America approaches, we are highlighting some of our collections items that relate to the American experience.

This collection of items from the Jones Truck Lines Inc. was given to Har-Ber Village Museum by its founder, Harvey Jones. Jones Truck Line was created in Springdale, Arkansas and eventually grew to have 2,300 employees in 1979. Harvey Jones also created The Har-Ber Village Museum in Grove, Oklahoma where they had their summer home.

Regarding the history of trucking, the first semi-truck was invented in 1898 by Alexander Winton. The American Trucking Associations was founded in 1933 which is they largest national trade association for the trucking industry with the current mission to “develop, advocate, and advance innovative research-based policies that promote highway safety, security, environmental sustainability, and profitability.” -bervillage

Our is an early - mid 1900's McCormick Brand Rubbed Sage Spice!

Founded by Willoughby M. McCormick in his basement in Baltimore, Maryland in 1889, this iconic spice-company started by selling root beer and extracts door-to-door. Eventually, in 1921, McCormick and Company were able to purchase their first building, and in 1947 the company acquired Schilling of San Francisco, which was the largest spice business west of the Mississippi river. This brand is still selling products today and is well known for their products such as McCormick branded vanilla extract.

At Har-Ber Village, we have been creating different formats of exhibits for the public to enjoy. We have recently created a digital exhibit which showcases our historic hotel key collection by placing them on a map, and giving information on the history of each building.

With Route 66 turning 100 this year, we have also included if the hotel would have been a tourist destination for those traveling the route.
