Guthrie, Ok | Huge Masonic Temple | A Kitten Kingdom Behind Glass | The Original Capital of Oklahoma 

I live in guthrie loved the video there is a lot of lore related to the free masons and the thing they did in the town very scary and dark stuff

I love Guthrie. It's such a beautiful well preserved historical town.

That was Pam Ekiss at the drug store, her father was the pharmacist. What a Great family. Guthrie has such a sorted past. From shootings in the Blue Bell Saloon to the Under Ground Railroad moving runaway slaves north for there freedom. The place has its dark side also as many city's do. There are also so many good stories an good people.

Very interesting! That’s a beautiful little town. Thanks for the history on the Masons. Have a great weekend😊

My family lived there and some still do. My aunt was a deputy Sherif there. Have a great day. I also wanted to say your video was Great.

I hide in the basement of one of the buildings. At 17:53 in video is when you are walking by the actual smallest park . You’ll pass the frame and see the tree which is in the park. But you can’t actually go in there because it is the USPS secure parking. This town is neat.

I live in Guthrie and enjoyed the video. I lived on a property that was at one time an all black cemetary for civil war veterans. Apalling to me how little regard past owners treated their resting place.

Guthrie is beautiful. Grew up close to there.

There is a wealth of Black History in and around Guthrie! Less than 10min drive is a HBCU Langston University. There were very well developed Black communities in Guthrie during segregation. They had their own schools grocery stores doctors offices etc etc. I’ve heard first hand accounts from a Black gentleman in his late 90s give a lecture. I got to take a picture with him after his lecture. Not too many true old timers left like him left.

Love the tour of the town.

I’m from gurthrie Oklahoma moved to San Diego California 30 years ago I do miss home

You missed the Prince Hall Masonic chapter on S 2nd in Guthrie. You would really enjoy the Langston Lake B&B and allow you to visit the Melvin B. Tolson Black Heritage Center at Langston University.

Guthrie deserves to be the capital over OKC (it was originally meant to be the capital but lost its title to OKC) I would’ve loved to see what Guthrie would’ve looked like if it grew like OKC did

Guthrie has much to recommend it; sadly, when Dad retired from the USAF in 1967, and we settled there, Lintz' Department Store introduced me to something I'd not yet experienced. Yep, Lintz' had little plaque's that segregated the water fountains. Then it becomes difficult NOT to see things, like the little Black kids at "Easy's Bowling Alley," (below street level) who manually set pins for 5 cents an hour......endlessly.

I love seeing my hometown! And Agents from Oklahoma City broke in and stole the state seal and took it to Oklahoma City thus making it the capital city...

I'm binge-watching your vids. Small town America. Have to love it You're exposing us to a whole new world. Planning a driving trip across the country. Will put these places on my list. Going west on I-10. Coming back east on I-90. (Well that's the plan)

Cool video. I'm from OKC but have lived here in Guthrie for some years. It's a fascinating place.

That's a cool story. Interesting stuff for sure

Love the videos.

The nations smallest national park is actually at the south west corner of the post office (directly opposite to where you were). You walked by it at 17:57 Allegedly, it was a typo, it was supposed to be 100 square acres, but they wrote 100 square feet. Another interesting thing is there is an island in the middle of the river that use to have much more downtown, it flooded long ago and is no longer accessible due to the Hazzard conditions of the ruins there. If I remember correctly there was a lot of black history there.

The Grand lodge presides over the states blue lodges The temple in Guthrie is a Scottish rite temple which is an appendant body of freemasonry You should have knocked on the door Someone would have loved to speak with you I’m sure !

Did you see any black people living there?

THis Black Pilot was killed BY poison Maybe.

Should stopped in the Grand Lodge

WHERE DO YOU THINK THESE ANTIQUES ITEMS COME FROM?? DECEASED PEOPLE DONATED BY THE FAMILIES CAREFUL THEY MIGHT HAUNT YOU DOWN.

All the mines in montana were run by them i found many of there old mines and working a few of them they took a lot of ore and money in 1880s
