About

The Washington Irving Trail Museum, sponsored by the nonprofit Payne County and Central Oklahoma Museum Association, is located on the site where famed American writer Washington Irving camped when he traveled through this region in 1832. In September of 1983, outlaws battled U.S. marshals in the gunfight at Ingalls a few miles away, and in nearby Ripley the nation's first western band got its start in the 1920s. Learn about this fascinating heritage -and more- at the Washington Irving Trail Museum.
