In Oklahoma today, visitors can explore where the collective histories of 39 unique First American Nations come to life. The First Americans Museum is a celebration of cultural diversity, history, and contributions of the indigenous people who inhabited this land long before the United States came into existence. It's important to acknowledge and honor the First American Nations that called this land home, including the Apache, Caddo, Tonkawa, Wichita, Comanche, Kiowa, Osage, Quapaw, Muscogee, and Seminole. These nations have a historical relationship with this region and have contributed to the rich tapestry of Oklahoma's cultural heritage.

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.
