Lovely museum! My family and I stopped here and I am so glad we did ! With a GORGEOUS Native American Wood Carving in front, honoring all the native Americans especially those from the "Trail of Tears " , inside they display many historical items from the era and beyond.

They had a lot of cool information and the kids loved going on the old cabins. Though the gift shop was closed when we were there so we never got to go in.

We stopped at the Forest Heritage Center for what we thought would be a good but short visit. A couple hours later we realized we could spend a lot of time there. So much history and amazing art . We were planning a trip back before we ever left. The wonderful lady in the Wood Art display (sorry I didn't get your name) was so knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend a visit for people of all ages. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Kobi Adato

So much to see inside. I didn't know that when i got there. I was just walking the trails and saw the place and just got inside and was surprised how much info you get. The art is amazing and the artist are very creative telling the history of Broken Bow area, From trees to water to how the baseball bat was created, Just lots of good information. I am recommending this place, just to stop and get knowledge.

Judtih Ginn

Great Wood Art! No need to drive to Dallas, Oklahoma City or Shreveport. Visit local for gifted craftmenship.

Gary Hutchings

Sue and her 81 year old hudband working as volunteers was a highlight of our visit. Besides be very knowledgeable in history of the area and the spinning trade they were so pleasant and genuine. I appreciated thier good example in marriage and thier positive enthusiasm for life was refreshing.

Judy English

Nice museum about the history of trees and their place in settling the United States and all the things made of wood from the trees.

Julie Hedge

Love the nature trail

Joey Pauga

The people here are awesome! They welcomed us, orientated us and then gave us the low-down of the entire area. They were very gracious and friendly. The ranger came out to meet with me because we were doing a service project for them and he was a soft-spoken guy with a welcoming attitude. This building had clean restrooms, cool decorations and a gift-shop. The outside of the building had some fun decorations as well. We didn't get to see the museum but just talking to the people up front was an indication of how the folks are. Great place, great people and great service!

Jennifer Ridge

Nice place

Layce Keith

Lots to learn about logging history. Beautiful wood carvings and the wood carver is right there working in front of you. Great gift shop

Matt Barnes

Let me start with the good. Beavers Bend State Park is a beautiful area to visit and paddle along the river. We have visited several times and enjoyed ourselves each time. However, we visited this past weekend and were surprised/disappointed when we stopped by the Heritage Center on the way out to pay for our campsite. Our group of 4 adults and 1 toddler stayed for 2 nights at a single campsite in Hickory that consisted of a picnic table, fire ring, and charcoal grill. According to their documentation, a single site should cost $14/night. But when stopping by the Heritage Center to pay our fees, we were asked how many tents and/or hammocks were on the site. We told them 2 tents (3 person tent and 6 person tent) and 3 hammocks so they wrote up the ticket as $84 for the two nights. We explained that it was only 4 adults and a toddler at a single primitive site but they told us that a tent and hammock makes up a unit and that each unit is $14/night. A couple thoughts. First, that would mean they undercharged us. Second, that's robbery. And third, they don't even advertise a "unit" price in the handout they had there at the center. Oddly enough, when questioned about this, several people in the office affirmed that $84 was the correct price. This was the first time we were ever charged this much. As much as we enjoy visiting this place, there is no way we will pay this kind of price again. If a partial refund is not issued and they stand by this as truly being their rate, we will find other places to camp going forward.

Rich Bull

Wonderful history of the forest.

Johnathon Santana

Its a nice museum

Darlene Saltzman

Seems like they are in the middle of renovations. There were loud construction noises.

Shelia Cooper

We visited the museum it was awesome. My family really enjoyed it.

Alex Smith

Nice little center for kids

Bobby Dohr

Nice place but about half way through you will get tired of hearing about wood and forests. Check out the gift shop!

Bill McNatt

Awesome place to stop and check out some of the history around the area, catch some trails and just hang out.

Kory Chosa

Great place to stop and get all the info you need.

CD Spiva

What makes this office unique is the museum. Most park offices have restrooms, trail maps, people to answer your questions, and even souvenirs. But this one has all of that and a history lesson, too! As you walk around the museum section protected from the heat outside, you can see artifacts and learn about the history of the area. There's even an old cabin outside. They also have some snack machines and a covered picnic area and lots of cool wood carvings, including a totem pole and a bear that's taller than most people. Several trails even start from this location. Be sure to check it out while you're there.

Kelly Whitley

Nice meseaum, small but still in the park. Cool hiking trails. Camping & trout fishing is absolutely awsome! Park staff is very knowledgeable & helpful. I'd suggest the kayack rides. Got train rides, horses & other activities to enjoy while visiting! I'd say give broken bow a try!

Awesome place to visit as you travel down the curvy winding road thru the national forest area. Museum has lots of information and artifacts to gain knowledge of everything from tree science to forestry to Indians. A very short walk and you will be at the river. I really love all the wooden sculptures that are located here.

Lacey Davis

Peace and serenity is what comes to mind

Larry White

MrVincentferrari

Its a grate place to visit. Especially for the kids.

Robyn Martinez

Family fun. This was an interesting place that we ran across. It had lots of amazing wood sculptures and beautiful artwork. My kids enjoyed the wood carver that made a spinning top for each of them. And they liked visiting each exhibit and discovering something new. Another family favorite was the 100 yr old cabin. Definitely worth stopping in and enjoying. Its nice to find free family fun when sometimes everything is so expensive.

Fantastic place. We live in Dallas but always bring family all the way from Colombia. We specially like the look out trail. We have walked with the kids several times.

Willeby Vanna

The Forest Heritage Center is a mouthful but its worth! It has a gift shop to bring the kids, and the adults who like antiques. As soon as you walk in you see huge wooden sculptures and statues. Theu have bathrooms and washrooms so you can clean uo after a long hike. Then you can walk down the hall and find a full on museum! If you press the button on the pole infront of what your looking at, it will give you a short, informational story about that photo or item. Then if you keep following the hall it will take you right back around to the entrance. This way, after your done inside the Heritage Center, if you brought a picnic you can go sit on the park picnic tables right outside. And then you could go into the gift shop for a sweet treat if you have a sweet tooth. Overall... This place is AMAZING!!!

Derrick E Lively

Florinda Ridge

Super nice place to enjoy nature and learn about the history of wood. The scenery was very beautiful with excellent breezes.

Brandy Springer

This was a pretty neat museum and it's free which was awesome. Lots of history about the logging era in OK. Several of the exhibits has informational buttons you can push and it will describe it for you. Pretty cool to check out if you're in the area.
