With just over 11,000 residents, Guthrie is a small town with a lot to offer. It began in the 1800s as a stop for passing railroads. With the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889, President Harrison opened the region for expansion. Settlers soon flooded into Guthrie, riding the railroad from east and south to get there. They built a U.S. land office and a post office almost immediately in 1889. As more people arrived, the town swelled to include eleven schoolhouses and nine churches.
Because of its booming population, Guthrie became the territory's capital and remained so until 1910, when voters chose Oklahoma City instead. Delegates drafted the original Oklahoma State constitution in Guthrie's city hall building. As power shifted to nearby Oklahoma City, Guthrie's population fell, though it remained an important city for Oklahoma.
Thousands of the original structures from the 1800s and early 1900s remain as part of Guthrie's downtown. A trolley takes visitors through the downtown area for glimpses of the historic Victorian-style architecture. The Oklahoma Territorial Museum and Carnegie Library go deep into the region's history.
Guthrie calls itself the "Bed and Breakfast Capital of Oklahoma" because of the numerous B&Bs throughout the city. The Pollard Theatre, which has stood in Guthrie since 1901, produces multiple can't-miss shows each season. Fans of all things spooky should try the Guthrie Ghost Walk, which gives you a hint of Guthrie's rich -- and sometimes scary -- past.
With its location central to several other important places in Oklahoma, Guthrie makes a great home base for exploring the state.
