Oklahoma's Vast Antique Collection

Thursday, July 17th, 2008


When we decided to visit a little antique collection of the shore of Grand Lake, I expected a charming and quaint little collection, but this was anything but little. This Har-ber Village, was over a 100 buildings, many antique themselves, packed with what I would have to say is the largest collection short of the Smithsonian that I could imagine. It was mostly late 1800's and contained every thing from mock period doctor's office to vast collections of china and machines.

We went through it quickly and spent over 3 hours skimming through the buildings.






Uncle Ruben, if you're looking this one is for you. This is the Scientific Name of the Apache Tears that you took us to discover in Arizona and they are fairly rare and definitely a regional speciality. We will treasure ours.







This is a special rock to Oklahoma, I have been always been fascinated with these, so we made sure to pick up a few in the gift shop.
