The Museum is located in Sheridan at 521 Shackleford Road, 72150. The Shackleford address is derived from the J. J. Shackleford family name. They donated the land to be used as a building site for the museum. We are very grateful to the Shackleford family for their support and continuing efforts to make our facility and grounds first class. Our email address is Museum4@alltel.net . Our phone number is 870-942-4496. You can read about the museum in Grassroots magazine and in the Sheridan Headlight, Sheridan's local newspaper. The Headlight's web address is sheadlite1@aol.com.
