From a quick Google search, I learned that Arkansas City, Kansas operates a Land Run Museum, but come on now; that's like OKC hosting a museum for the Salem witch trials. Among all of the concepts worth consideration for a museum, two out of three of the most obvious that relate to OKC have already been done (or are in progress/limbo): OKC National Memorial museum and the Native America Cultural Center. The only one missing from the three is a museum for the Land Runs.

I don't get it. Why does OKC not have a Land Run museum? Are there not enough artifacts in existence to put on display? Is there a lack of interest from investors? Are would-be investors concerned about the existence of the other Land Run museum? What's the deal?

To hell with the Land Run museum in Kansas; there's no way it could compete with a similar museum in OKC. And I'd be willing to bet that such a museum in OKC would draw visitors really well. The Land Run Monument in Lower Bricktown is a really cool feature, but a museum would be an especially awesome attraction. So forgive my ignorance, but what gives?
