At 27 years old and newly married, Frank Hilton Greer took the biggest gamble of his life.

On March 23, 1889, President Benjamin Harrison signed the proclamation opening the way for the Unassigned Lands to be settled on April 22, 1889—the historic Land Run that would launch the city of Guthrie.

With just $29 in his pocket and a canvas bag filled with pre-printed newspapers, Frank arrived in the new territory with a dream: to build the largest newspaper west of the Mississippi.

He started in a tent.

Then came a small building. Then a larger building shared with a theater company. And finally, in 1902, the magnificent building that would become his lasting legacy: the State Capital Publishing Company building.

Frank's journey was anything but easy.

A devastating fire destroyed much of his business on Easter Sunday in 1902. In 1905, he lost his only child, Virginia. The following year, he lost his wife, Blanche.

Yet Frank persevered.

Through determination, grit, and an unwavering belief in Oklahoma, he continued his work to help guide the young territory toward statehood in 1907.

Today, the building he built in 1902 still stands proudly in downtown Guthrie.

Four stories. Approximately 50,000 square feet. More than a century of Oklahoma history.

Frank Hilton Greer's legacy is still here—and we are determined to preserve it.

Join us on November 5, 2026, as we honor Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell and raise funds to continue the restoration and preservation of this extraordinary piece of Oklahoma history.

Have you ever wanted to take a step back in time?

Well, gentle reader…in Guthrie, Oklahoma, you can.

No time machine required.

Guthrie is home to one of the most remarkable collections of historic architecture in America, with an entire historic district featuring more than 2,000 buildings constructed during the city's incredible boom years.

Walk through downtown Guthrie, and you are surrounded by history at every turn.

And standing proudly among those historic treasures is the State Capital Publishing Museum.

Four stories tall and approximately 50,000 square feet, she's a hard lady to miss.

In fact, she is the largest standalone historic building in downtown Guthrie.

Now, on the residential side, that honor belongs to the magnificent , coming in at around 8,000 square feet.

Madam…

We tip our proverbial hat in your direction. 🎩

But preserving a building like ours is no small task.

Imagine 144 windows.

Floors upon floors of history.

Massive antique printing presses and machinery that helped tell the story of Oklahoma.

A building where, from the second-floor balcony, the announcement of Oklahoma Statehood was made.

History like this doesn't preserve itself.

Here at the State Capital Publishing Museum, we are working to save this incredible building one floor, one window, and one antique machine at a time.

But here's the truth, gentle reader…

We can't do it alone.

And that's where you come in.

On November 5, 2026, we invite you to join us for our 4th Bi-Annual Gala & Auction — A Night for the Museum: Beyond the Pressroom.

Spend the evening inside one of Guthrie's most remarkable historic buildings while helping us preserve it for generations to come.

✨ Canapés and libations
✨ An online auction
✨ A live auction
✨ A silent auction
✨ Evening tours of the historic basement print room
✨ Access to portions of the museum's second floor
✨ A few surprises along the way
✨ And an evening surrounded by history, friends, and a whole lot of fun
