National Collaborative for Women's History Sites

Historical marker dedicated in honor of Ochlocknee folk artist Laura Pope Forester and Pope’s Museum (Georgia). The museum is considered one of the ‘oldest documented art environments in Georgia and the Southeast, and among the oldest remaining sites of its kind in the country.’

The Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office is currently conducting an architectural/historic survey of prominent women in Oklahoma. Through systematic field investigations and archival research, archaeological and architectural/historic resources are identified, recorded, and evaluated for National Register eligibility. Below you will find information about some of the women included in the survey. More will be added as they and resources associated with them are identified. Have a prominent woman in Oklahoma you'd like considered for this survey? Email Andrew Beard at andrew.beard@history.ok.gov with your suggestions.
