On October 14th, 1902, the State Capital Publishing Co opened its door to the public after a fire burned down the The State Capital Publishing building to the ground on Easter Sunday 1902. With the assistance from the town of Guthrie, Frank Greer was able to rebuild in 7 months. Five years later Oklahoma Statehood was announced off the 2nd floor balcony.

The State Capital Publishing Museum's building has stood for 124 years...

AN EVENING WITH OKLAHOMA HISTORY

A Night for the Museum: Beyond the Pressroom November 5th, 2026

An extraordinary evening. Remarkable guests. A legacy worth preserving.

Join us for a memorable celebration of Oklahoma history, historic preservation, tourism, the arts, and the exciting future of the State Capital Publishing Museum. Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell will join us as our honored guest, recognizing his leadership and dedication to Oklahoma tourism and historic preservation.

He will also be joined for a special conversation by Enes Kanter Freedom, former Oklahoma City Thunder player, international athlete, author, activist, and advocate.

Together, they'll bring unique perspectives, compelling experiences, and a conversation you won't want to miss.

And all of it will take place in a building that has been telling Oklahoma's story for more than a century.

HELP US WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER

Oklahoma's history deserves a future.

The State Capital Publishing Museum preserves more than a remarkable historic building. It safeguards the stories, machinery, and craftsmanship that helped shape how Oklahoma—and the world—received its news.

Our vision is to open our doors regularly, welcoming students, families, historians, tourists, and visitors from around the world to experience this extraordinary piece of Oklahoma history.

Making that vision a reality takes a community that believes the past is worth preserving and the future is worth building.

“What will it take for you to open your doors full time?”

We get asked this question all the time.

The honest answer?

More than $25 million.

That number can feel overwhelming. And believe us, it is.

But when you walk through the State Capital Publishing Museum, you are walking through a piece of Oklahoma history that is more than 120 years old. Preserving a building of this size, age, and significance is not a simple renovation. It is a monumental undertaking.

To open our doors on a regular basis, we need:

A working elevator so visitors who cannot climb four flights of stairs can experience this incredible building.

HVAC throughout all four floors to provide the temperature and climate control necessary to safely preserve the building, machinery, documents, artifacts, and collections.

New electrical and plumbing systems to bring the infrastructure of this historic building up to the standards needed for a functioning museum.

More than 100 historic windows restored—each one a piece of the building's story.

And that's just the beginning.

There is so much more that needs to be done before we can welcome visitors through these doors every day.

But here is what we want you to know:
We haven't given up.

Every donation, no matter the size, moves us one step closer.

Every volunteer who gives their time helps us preserve another piece of this story.

Every person who attends an event, purchases a ticket, sponsors the museum, shares our posts, or tells someone about us helps keep the dream alive.

This building has stood changing times, statehood, wars, economic hardships, and more than a century of Oklahoma history.

We want it to stand for the next 100 years, too.

We can't do that alone.

If you would like to help us preserve the State Capital Publishing Museum, there are several ways you can be part of the story.

Volunteer. Donate. Attend an event. Become a sponsor.

Visit www.publishingmuseum.org to learn more, make a donation, become a volunteer, or get your tickets for A Night for the Museum: Beyond the Pressroom on November 5, 2026.

The doors may not be open full time yet.

But the dream is still very much alive.
