Popular exhibits include the story of President Theodore Roosevelt's visit to Frederick in 1905, the adventures of wolf hunter "Catch 'em Alive" Jack Abernathy, and the remarkable exploits of Abernathy's two sons, Bud and Temple.

The WW II Airborne Demonstration Team
Three miles southwest of Frederick
During World War II Frederick was home to Frederick Army Airfield, a training base that was located southwest of town.
Today the site of the former army airfield is home of Frederick’s municipal airport and the World War II Airborne Demonstration Team.
The team, made up of members living throughout the United States and abroad, honors veterans through WW II style static line parachute jumps at events throughout the United States and Europe.
Their headquarters is an authentic WW II hangar from the Frederick Army Airfield days. A visit there is a step back in time. The hangar and its exhibits are a tribute to the heroic men who served our nation and often sacrificed their lives in World War II.
The Ramona Theatre
114 South 9th Street
The Ramona Theatre was built in 1929 and billed as "The Showplace of the Southwest!" The wonderful old theatre fell on hard times in the 1970s and was closed before being acquired and restored in 1980 by the Frederick Arts and Humanities Council.

Hackberry Flat Wetlands
South of Frederick
When this part of Oklahoma Territory was opened for settlement in 1901, a nine-square-mile area south of Frederick called Hackberry Flat was a natural wetlands area, holding water and attracting millions of birds. Farmers in the new territory considered the wetlands a waste of potential farmland, so found a way to drain the wetlands. It remained dry for 90 years until a partnership between businesses, individuals, numerous public and private groups, and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation secured the land in the 1990s and restored it as a wetlands.
The area again attracts scores of birds, especially in the spring and fall as birds make the area a stop on their migratory "Mid-America" flyway! A Hackberry Flat educational center was built at the site in 2007, and the facility often attracts bird lovers from around the nation and the world.
