MUSKOGEE ART

Muskogee has treasures at every turn. While driving around looking for guitars I found these murals on the side of brick buildings. I found them interesting, beautiful and full of history. It seemed almost endless and unexpected to continually find artwork sporadically through town. Just when you thought there wasn't anymore to find -- I would find another.




I love this painting. It really popped out at you!

These are paintings of Mr&Mrs Hoopes the original owners of Hoopes Hardware.

Muskogee's Rhythm's Guitar Exhibit features 30 eight feet painted guitars. The guitars celebrate the town's rich musical heritage . Here are a few of the guitars that adorn streets of Muskogee.


Trey's favorite guitar.

HONOR HEIGHTS PARK
This is the oldest and most enjoyed park in Muskogee. There is over 122 acres with manicured gardens, ponds, playgrounds, tennis courts, picnic and splash pads, hiking trails, plus a sand volleyball court. This is home to over 600 varieties of azaleas, rose and butterflies gardens. I fell in love with this park. It really is a beautiful park.
