Remember our next educational event coming up in December is the Candlelight Stroll on Saturday, December 9th. Tours will start at 5:30pm and leave every 15 minutes until the last tour leaves at 7:45pm.

Tickets will be available starting on Tuesday, November 21st at 9:00am. Ideally we would like everyone to come in and pick up tickets at the Visitor Center but we are willing to see about sending tickets to those who are not in the Lawton / Fort Sill area.

This tour is a walking tour and is not recommended for children under 10 and for people with disabilities due to the brisk walking and the number of stairs that will need to be climbed at some locations.

If you have questions, please call 580-442-5123.
