Ft. Gibson & Sequoyah State Park

This is the second time I have been to Fort Gibson in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma.

It is such an interesting place!

I would advise going during one of their events.

They have a spring and fall encampment where re-enactments are going on the whole weekend.

We missed the fall encampment by a week…

I looked at the city website and it was wrong.

Oops.

A lot of the rooms are set up so you can see what they would have looked like.

The boys wanted to look in every single one.

There are several things to do in the area.

When we went in the spring we also went to the Azalea Festival at Muskogee.

This time we went to Sequoyah State Park & Lodge.

They have an amazing nature center!

When we got to the nature center it was closed for the day but there were a bunch of deer just hanging out!

Caden played with the coyote.

It was so funny, they were following each other!

I want to go back again when we can go inside the center.

We went a long time ago but I think the boys would like it even more now!

They do have some hiking trails also.

We only went on a short one because it was getting late in the day.

Check out these two awesome places in North East Oklahoma!
