WPA TOURSThe New Deal brought hope to the nation through job training, employment and the building of infrastructure and public welfare. We have created four unique self-guided tours that can be experienced in a variety of ways. We hope you take this opportunity to explore the history of the New Deal and the WPA in Logan County. Guided group tours and presentations are also available by reservation.

Historic PreservationThe Logan County Historical Society completed the National Register nomination for the Excelsior Library which was officially listed on the National Register of Historical Places on March 15, 2016. The Excelsior Library was built as an African American Library in 1955. It is one of the last remaining libraries built for African Americans in the country. The Logan County Historical Society is pleased to be part of the solution to saving history from all time periods in the county.

Personal StoriesOur experiential history series brings Logan County resident's stories to life through our virtual exhibits, newsletter feature stories and blog posts. Recently we have had the privilege of sharing stories about the restoration of the Patti Lynn Dinner by Jerri Jones, we took a trip back in time to Camp Cimarron with Bonnie Winslow, and learned about Guthrie's movie theaters from Bob Powell.
