This tiny town is located in the panhandle of Oklahoma and its claim to fame is being the only town to have been accidentally bombed by the U.S. Military. On July 5, 1943, the city was bombed by an off course B-17. Six bombs were dropped and five detonated although no one was hurt. The military came and picked up what was left of the five bombs. The sixth bomb, undetonated, was found by a civilian who stored it in his barn. It was found after his death in 2019 and donated to the museum who put it on display.
Here are some of the other fun things situated outside of the museum.

But the historic bombing is what puts this town on the map 😊
