Ardmore, Oklahoma - Great Fire and the Big Explosion

In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, two separate disasters hit Ardmore, Oklahoma. The great fire and the explosion greatly affected the town of Ardmore. This beautiful exhibit, "From the Ashes," tells the story not only through words, but three-dimensional artifacts such as melted nails, steam-pump fire engine, photographs and other related objects.
