The museum has an impressive collection of banjos available for public viewing, boasting over 400 instruments, films, recordings, instructional materials, printed music, ephemera, and memorabilia worldwide. The galleries feature various types of banjos, including primitive ones made by enslaved Africans, minstrel-age instruments from the mid-19th century, Classic Era banjos from the late 1800s and early 1900s, and post-WWII banjos used in bluegrass, folk, and world music.
Experience the thrill of the 130-foot tower zip line at Turner Falls 777 Zipline, where two guests will be secured before being hoisted in reverse to their viewpoint, 777 ft. away. From the viewing point, you'll get a spectacular view of the 77' waterfalls and Collings Castle. Then, feel the adrenaline rush as you zip back 777 ft. to the landing zone, reaching speeds of up to 28 mph. The best part? The comfortable two-seater chair-type lift is excellent for all ages. All riders will wait on the platform and enter a safe area before getting on the lift, where they will be assisted and buckled in by one of the workers. The views are extraordinary, and the ride is exhilarating.
Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park is an incredible theater company whose productions are bold, re-imagined, and always entertaining. The best part is that they make Shakespeare and other classics accessible to everyone. They perform at the Myriad Botanical Gardens Water Stage and also on stages throughout the city. What sets them apart is that they are active year-round, producing plays, staged readings, and working with students and teachers in exciting workshops and events. It's great to see a theater company that is so dedicated to making the classics come alive for new generations of audiences.
In 1988, a group of citizens who cared about preserving history started a project to restore the beautiful facades of old buildings in Guthrie. This project revitalized the city and created a thriving tourism industry that still benefits Guthrie today. As part of the project, the Logan County Historical Society brought back the long-forgotten trolley system, and the First Capital Trolley Co. was founded. Nowadays, these charming green trolleys can be seen all over the Guthrie Historic District, providing a convenient and valuable public service that many other towns of Guthrie's size can only dream of having.
