Things to do in Midwest City

• Science Museum Oklahoma
  The Science Museum Oklahoma started out in 1958, as the Kirkpatrick Planetarium that moved to a permanent dome on the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds in 1962. During the same year, the Oklahoma Science and Arts Foundation was started on the grounds, changing its name in 1978 to the Omniplex Science Museum and moving with the Kirkpatrick Planetarium to the newly created Kirkpatrick Center museum complex. More additions were added in 1980, the Oklahoma Air and Space Museum; the Kirkpatrick Gardens and Greenhouse in 1985, and in 1998, the Omnidome Theater arrived, which was the state's first big format dome screen theater. During 2007, the Omniplex would change its name to the Science Museum Oklahoma, with a lot of remodeling happening, additions of new galleries and displays, that includes a child friendly space display and three new art galleries. The Kirkpatrick Air and Space Museum is a part of the entire complex that preserves and honors the dedication and service of Oklahomans to aerospace with important relics that include the Apollo lunar module copy that was constructed by Canadian inventor William Lishman, the Apollo Command module simulator, and relics that are related to the Oklahoman aviator Wiley Post.

• Carl Hubbell Museum
  Carl Hubbell, an American baseball player and Hall of Famer grew up in Meeker, Oklahoma after moving here from Carthage, Missouri, where he was born. Starting to play professional baseball at a late age, 25, he would soon show that he was a great player and nicknamed "King Carl" by his fans and "the Meal Ticket" by his teammates. His first major league victory was a 4-0 shutout against the Philadelphia Phillies and he would go on to end up his first season with a 10-6 record, playing all 16 years of his career with the New York Giants. Using a slow delivery to take advantage of his famous screwball, Carl would have five 20 win seasons for the Giants from 1933 to 1937; helping his team win three NL pennants and the 1933 World Series. During that marvelous series, he would win two full games, including an 11th inning 2-1 game four, although the run was unearned. In his six career Series starts, he would be 4-2 with 32 strikeouts and an excellent 1.79 era; and still famous for his incredible strikeouts of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Joe Cronin and Al Simmons during the 1934 All-Star game, putting them down in consecutive at-bats. Carl would be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY in 1947, and another Hall of Famer, Cubs second baseman, Billy Herman said that Carl could throw strikes at midnight. The Meeker City Hall has its own museum that is dedicated to Carl Hubbell, who is buried in the town's New Hope Cemetery, with a simple headstone. Carl would become known as one of the greatest left-handed pitchers of all time.  Carl was originally signed by the Detroit Tigers in 1926, but pitching coach George McBride and player-manager Ty Cobb weren't too impressed with him, so they sent him to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the International League before the season began. They didn't think much of his screwball since it was his best pitch. Carl went 7 and 7 that season, and the next year he was asked to come to the spring training again, but neither man was anymore impressed with him, so they sent him to the minors, two steps below the Tigers, and he played with the Decatur Commodores of the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League; where he pitched a 14-7 season. This time the Tigers didn't ask him back, but instead sent him to the Beaumont Exporters of the Texas League. Right about that time, Carl was so discouraged that he told Beaumont manager Claude Robinson that if he wasn't sold to another team he would have to quit and go into the oil business. Many years later, Carl said that leaving the Tigers was the best event that happened to him in his career. That year his big break came in June, when Giants scout, Dick Kinsella was in Houston going to the Democratic National Convention and thought he'd catch a game between the Houston Buffs and the Exporters. He wasn't there for any scouting purposes, but was very impressed with Carl and called the Giants manager, John McGraw and told him he'd been released by Detroit because of his best pitch, the screwball. McGraw said that Christy Mathewson had a screwball or fade away as the pitch was being called at that time, and it did not have any effects on his pitching. Dick followed Carl for another month and continued to be impressed, so Carl headed to the Big Apple and fame.

• 45th Infantry Division Museum
  The 45th Infantry Division was part of the United States Army, and was a major part of the state's National Guard, headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for the majority of its history; and traces its lineage to the state militia that was activated during the late 19th century. The group first saw action in WWII fighting in the Mediterranean area, making amphibious landings at Sicily, Salerno and Anzio, playing an important role in the liberation of Italy; just before making another amphibious landing in France to liberate it. Afterwards, the division would begin its advance on Germany itself. After it was deactivated for a few years, the 45th would head to the Korean peninsula lining up with other UN forces getting repeatedly attacked by the Chinese. Fighting in many raids and larger battles, like the Battle of Old Baldy, the division would be decorated numerous times for its actions during both wars, which would eventually be deactivated again and made into the 45th Infantry Brigade. The history of this great division began in 1890, when the militia of the territory of Oklahoma was formed, and it was mobilized in 1898 in the Spanish-American War but never was deployed. In 1916, the First Oklahoma Infantry Regiment would become part of the reconstructed 142 Infantry Regiment of the 36th Division which did see some action in the last month of WWI. Then, in 1920, the Oklahoma State militia would become the 45th Infantry Division of the Oklahoma National Guard with troops coming from New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona and Colorado. The division's original shoulder insignia was a gold swastika inside a red background, as a tribute to the south-western region of the nation that had many Native Americans, whose symbol this had been. But, when the Nazis came into power and used the same symbol, the division had to change, only this time it would use the thunderbird, another symbol of the Native Americans; and this was approved in 1939.  Among the excellent exhibits of the museum are original drawings by Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Bill Maudlin, who created the characters, "Willie and Joe" who chronicled the lives of the infantrymen during WWII; using both humor and realism to depict their stories. The Reaves Military Weapons collection is one of the best collections of military weapons in the country and was acquired in 1980; showcasing weapons and relics from the Revolutionary War to Vietnam. The WWII gallery shows many relics and memorabilia of that period with many personal accounts by the soldiers themselves. The Korean War gallery does the same, with the division spending almost as much time in Korea as they did in Europe. The Supporting Forces gallery pays homage to the men and women that kept these heroes fed, equipped and healthy; as well as those that helped keep the soldiers morale up. Thunderbird Park is a 15 acre site that has aircraft, personnel carriers, tanks, artillery and the Thunderbird monument.

•  Harn Homestead
  The Harn Homestead is an Oklahoma gem that showcases the territorial history of the great state, giving a hands-on and minds-on experience that takes you back to the early period of the territory of Oklahoma. Here you can become part of the territorial farm, the elegance of a Victorian house, a one-room schoolhouse and the waste not want not mentality of a typical territorial farm family. This is a one of a kind place that invites you to become part of the history and spirit of the heroic men, women and children that settled this wild state. The homestead's history ranges over a century, beginning in the land run of April 22, 1889, in the Oklahoma territory when there were so many land disputes that President Benjamin Harrison had to appoint William Fremont Harn to become a special land commissioner to settle them. Mr. Harn and his wife, Alice, came to the territory and purchased 160 acres, where the homestead sits today. Since he was an experienced claims adjuster, Harn knew the value of land and would become one of the developers of Oklahoma City; buying land near where downtown Oklahoma City sits today, and was instrumental in having other neighborhoods developed. The best known of these is Harndale, which is now Heritage Hills and contains some of the city's oldest homes; numerous ones that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Harn was a generous person, and donated 40 acres of land so that the state could locate its capital in Oklahoma City instead of Guthrie, as did his neighbor, Mr. Culbertson, so the state capital building sits on both of their lands that were donated.

• Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum
  Anna B. Korn began the Oklahoma Memorial Association in 1927, as well as the Oklahoma Hall of Fame to honor those citizens that had contributed to the state in excellent service during their lives. It held the first Oklahoma statehood celebration and the year after inducted the first recipients into the Hall of Fame. It wasn't until 1960 that the organization began to think about a structure to house the busts and portraits of the Hall of Famers, although 10 years later, the Hefner family would donate Judge Robert Hefner's former mansion. The organization started the restoration process and renamed it the Oklahoma Heritage House and considered changing its name to the Oklahoma Heritage Association to show the expansive role it was now playing in the preservation of the state's history. The Oklahoma Heritage House opened in 1972, and their first garden party was held, that has become an annual tradition, and it also had its first annual awards ceremony to honor those people that are instrumental in saving the state's history. The association published its first book, about Judge Hefner, that became the first biography in their new Trackmaker series. As the years rolled by, the organization became involved in scholarship programs, poster/ essay contests and more that reflected the importance and interest in the history of the state. In 2001, the association purchased the Mid-Continent Life Insurance building in Oklahoma City with a generous gift from Edward Gaylord and in 2004, they began the restoration process with matching funds from T. Boone Pickens. Finally, in 2006, the organization moved into the marvelous 1927 building to prepare for the grand opening of the Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum and since that day has been offering high-tech and interactive exhibits that showcase the history of the state, and its people. Using touch screens, the visitor can learn all about the state's outstanding citizens like Wiley Post, Matt Hoffman, Reba McEntire and Shannon Lucid; as well as their marvelous contributions to the state. In another gallery, you will learn more about the two men that really made this museum possible; T. Boone Pickens and Edward L. Gaylord, their interesting lives and how they became so successful. The Bust gallery is another, as is the ONEOK exhibit that allows visitors, from the state, to tell their stories which become part of the exhibit. The Chesapeake Oklahoma Theater is another opportunity to learn much more about this awesome state and the people that helped build it. The Hall of Fame is also here, as is the story of the building, with so much to see and do, that it would take a day or two to enjoy learning about the great history of Oklahoma.

• John Conrad Regional Golf Course
  The John Conrad Golf Course in Midwest City, Oklahoma was designed and created by Floyd Farley in 1971, sitting on 160 beautiful acres with tree lined roughs, water features, rolling hills and wandering creeks, manicured Bermuda grass fairways and bent grass greens. The green fees are so reasonable, it is no wonder that folks will come here for a great game of golf from other parts of the country. The fee includes 18 holes of challenging golf, with driving range, two putting greens and a practice green with bunker; so you should have no problems warming up and getting the feel for this exciting and excellent course. The course has a full service pro shop, the John Conrad Grill that is open for breakfast and lunch, and a 3000 square foot tournament pavilion that has a huge scoreboard, restrooms and outdoor tables and chairs to relax for a few in between the 18 holes. Their professional golf instructors are PGA members and will help in any way possible to improve your game, swing or what have you. Naturally they have carts for rent if you prefer riding to walking the game, although the scenery is so lovely that you will probably opt for walking once you see it, as well as getting some good exercise. Holes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18 are all par 4, with 3, 9, 13 and 16 par 5 and the remainder par 3, offering you a wonderful and exciting game that will be more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Number 3 is 518 yard par 5, with number 9 the same, and number 13 555 yards is perhaps a very unlucky number if you are a hooker since the entire left fairway runs along water; and number 16 is 551 yards. No matter what your skill level is, the game should be one of your more challenging and exciting, with great views and marvelous weather.
