Housed in the location office of the movie, this unique museum contains information and video on the making of "Twister" in Wakita.

Wakita is a town in Grant County, Oklahoma, and is notable as a location in the 1996 feature film Twister. Before the town's founding in 1898, there was a dispute over the right to name the town. The town's postmaster, and the owner of the first general store, and the town's first postmaster, believed it should be named Whiteville. Local Deputy U.S. Marshall Herbert John Green motioned for the town be named after a Cherokee chief of local significance named Wakita. Green and other local settlers wanted to name the town in the chief's honor because of a protective spell cast by the chief's tribe to protect the area around the town, between Crooked Creek and Pond Creek, from tornadoes for 100 years. On May 10, 2010, numerous tornadoes touched down in Grant County, causing significant damage near the Wakita area. However, the town itself was not destroyed. Wakita was the setting of a 1984 television commercial about DuPont's subsidiary Conoco using seismograph technology to search for oil. It was aired during the 1984 World Series. The voice over starts with, "Nothing much changes in Wakita, Oklahoma." News Story from KFOR.

Runestone Park. This dynamic attraction in southeastern Oklahoma is the site of the annual Heavener Runestone Viking Festival, thanks to its unique history. Opened in 1970, this park is centered on a Swedish-inscribed runestone found in the 1920s. However, according to oral history, the runestone was actually discovered in the 1830s by a Choctaw hunting party. Several ideas have been proposed to explain the origin of the inscriptions. Some claim that the runes document Viking exploration of southeastern Oklahoma in about 1000 A.D., while others suggest the runes were carved in the early 1700s. See the stone for yourself on Poteau Mountain just outside the town's limits. This 55-acre park also offers group shelters for picnics, picnic tables, outdoor grills, comfort stations, amphitheater, playground, campsites, hiking and educational programs about the Runestone. Be sure to stop by the gift shop and enhance your experience at the interpretative center with educational information. Located in Le Flore County, Heavener is situated on State Highway 128 and on U.S. Highway 59/270, approximately twelve miles south of Poteau, the county seat. Lying within the former Choctaw Nation, Heavener is named for Joseph H. Heavener, who arrived in 1877. Prior to the town's christening as Heavener, the area was known by several different names, including Prairie of the Tall Grass, Choctaw City, Prairie View, Long Prairie, and Grand Prairie. Good land drew farmers to the area and assisted in Heavener's growth. In 1885 a cotton gin and gristmill were built, and soon other businesses began moving in. Heavener expanded because of transportation access. After the Kansas City Southern Railway purchased the rail line in 1900, in 1910 the company established a roundhouse, making Heavener a division point. As a result, the town grew. In that year the first bank opened. In 1910 the population was 780, and by 1911 Heavener had two banks, two newspapers, and all of the amenities of a growing city. The population jumped to 1,850 in 1920. In 1970, when Oklahoma officials dedicated the nearby Heavener Runestone State Park, the population was 2,566.

Wister is located in central Le Flore County and in the northern portion of the Ouachita National Forest near Lake Wister, which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers created between 1946 and 1949. U.S. Highways 270 and 271 pass through the town. McAlester is located fifty-five miles almost due west, and the Oklahoma-Arkansas border lies twenty miles east of Wister. Within a few decades of the 1830s Choctaw removal from Mississippi to Indian Territory, the population in the future Le Flore County area had greatly increased. By the second half of the nineteenth century the Choctaw and the whites who joined them had developed an economy that required railroad services. In 1866, after the Civil War, a treaty between the Choctaw Nation and the federal government permitted railroads to build through the territory. They became an integral part of the economy, transporting coal, timber, livestock, farming, and other products, as well as passengers.

How does a train avoid detection? It covers its tracks. Today we are discussing the Southern Belle Restaurant in Heavener, OK. Stop by Southern Belle Restaurant in Heavener to chow down on traditional southern cooking. You’ll find tasty steaks, burgers, fish, sandwiches and pork chops, all prepared in a down-home fashion, on the menu. For a real treat, pair your main course with a sweet potato topped with caramel and marshmallow. Be sure to try the house specialty, the Southern Belle Chicken, a boneless chicken breast marinaded in a secret house dressing, then dipped in batter and fried, and served with a special dipping sauce. It comes with a potato, bread and a trip to the salad bar. For dessert, try a slice of decadent homemade pie or cheesecake with flavors inspired by the season. The restaurant is housed in a refurbished 1905 railcar. A passenger train that traveled the Kansas City Southern Railway and previously transported WWII soldiers, the Southern Belle was discontinued in 1969 and was later restored to its present-day glory by local train buffs. Located in Le Flore County, Heavener is situated on State Highway 128 and on U.S. Highway 59/270, approximately twelve miles south of Poteau, the county seat. Lying within the former Choctaw Nation, Heavener is named for Joseph H. Heavener, who arrived in 1877 and was one of the area's earliest white settlers. He and others, including Sam Wilson, farmed on Choctaw permits. In 1880 Zachary Taylor Ward and his wife, Tabitha Hickman Ward, a Choctaw Indian, moved their store at Skullyville to present Heavener. This began the settlement. Ward died in 1883, and Tabitha married Heavener. The couple owned the land on which the town was established. Prior to the town's christening as Heavener, the area was known by several different names, including Prairie of the Tall Grass, Choctaw City, Prairie View, Long Prairie, and Grand Prairie. Good land drew farmers to the area and assisted in Heavener's growth. In 1885 a cotton gin and gristmill were built, and soon other businesses began moving in. Floyd Wilson established a subscription school. In 1886 Sam Lucas established a community church, the settlement's first. By 1889 Dr. Salather C. Capp practiced as the first doctor. The Commercial Hotel was built about that time. In 1895, after a vote of the local residents, the town became Heavener. In 1896 the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad built tracks through the town. A post office was established in a boxcar on May 12, 1896. Simon W. Woods served as the first postmaster. Another boxcar served as the train station. In 1900–1901 the Arkansas Western Railroad constructed tracks from Heavener east to Arkansas. Heavener expanded because of transportation access. After the Curtis Act (1898) allowed Indian Territory's municipalities to operate under federal guidelines, the town incorporated in 1898, with E. W. Moore the first mayor. In 1899 Harvey Wise became the first peace officer. In 1900 the population stood at 234. In 1901 the town was platted. After the Kansas City Southern Railway purchased the rail line in 1900, in 1910 the company established a roundhouse, making Heavener a division point. As a result, the town grew. In that year the first bank opened. In 1910 the population was 780, and by 1911 Heavener had two banks, two newspapers, and all of the amenities of a growing city. The population jumped to 1,850 in 1920. The region benefited from the mining and timber industries. Heavener hosted the Burnett Lumber Company's sawmill from 1935 until it burned in 1981. In 1930 the U.S. Census reported a population of 2,269, which declined to 2,103 in 1950. In 1960 the Heavener Charcoal Company began operation, shipping charcoal from its kilns to a plant in Arkansas. In 1970, when Oklahoma officials dedicated the nearby Heavener Runestone State Park, the population was 2,566. In the late twentieth century poultry farming took precedence as an economic activity. Poultry farmers in the Heavener area raise millions of chickens each year. In 1986 OK Foods established a poultry hatchery at the town. In 1992 the company opened a processing plant and in 1995 a feed mill for the farmers who supply the plant with chickens. These enterprises provide employment for many local residents, as well as for a large number of Hispanics who have migrated to Heavener to work. In 2000 the number of inhabitants stood at 3,201, with 23.5 percent of them being Hispanic. The 2010 census recorded 3,414 residents, of whom 41.3 were of Hispanic ethnicity.

No cheesy jokes, because it's gouda brie a good day. Today we are discussing the Amish Cheese House in Chouteau, OK. The Amish Cheese House in a 7,200-square-foot building houses a family-owned restaurant featuring delicious sandwiches made from freshly baked bread, tasty meats and dozens of cheeses from the local Amish community, as well as those in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Not sure what to have? No problem – take advantage of the free samples. But don’t leave without loading up on the other fine products, ranging from homemade noodles and fudge to cider and cheese balls. Better yet, take home a gift set for a friend or loved one. Chouteau is located in the old Cooweescoowee District of the Cherokee Nation in southern Mayes County. It has an altitude of 627 feet. Chouteau is a gateway to the eastern Oklahoma lake area, featuring Fort Gibson Lake, Upper and Lower Spavinaw Lakes, the Lake of the Cherokees (Grand Lake), and the Lake Hudson Recreational Area. State Highway 412 (Cherokee Turnpike) and U.S Highway 69 intersect just south of town. In 1871, when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway built its line across Indian Territory, Chouteau became a terminus. Riley W. Lindsey, the first agent, was also the first settler. Chouteau grew into a thriving cattle town, and residents built a fence around its limits to keep the herds out of the streets. Gates were conveniently located, and parents escorted their children safely to and from downtown. Many of the early citizens lived in tents, and they too built fences to keep out cattle. The town had to be rebuilt after a fire in 1891, and in 1985 much of the business district was again destroyed by fire. Businesses moved to the east side of Highway 69. In 1880 Lindsey provided the land and financed Chouteau's first school, a subscription school, housed in a one-room building. In later years the school was razed, and a larger, two-story, wood-frame building was erected on the same site, sheltering another subscription school. Several denominations used these facilities for church services, and citizens used them for various town meetings. Today the Chouteau-Mazie School District comprises kindergarten through grade twelve and operates with a staff of fifty-eight teachers and administrators. The town's population has varied, ranging from 483 in 1900 and 541 in 1920 to a twentieth-century low of 400 in 1940. The number of inhabitants rebounded to 1,046 in 1970 and grew to 1,771 in 1990. By 2000 the town sheltered a population of 1,931, and the 2010 census reported 2,097 inhabitants. Chouteau has supported twelve churches of various denominations. The United Methodist is the oldest congregation, and the First Presbyterian the oldest church building, dedicated on July 10, 1898. The Farmers and Merchants Bank (NR 83002091) and the Territorial Commercial District of Chouteau, Main Street, (NR 83002093) are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. With the location of the Mid-American Industrial Area between Chouteau and Pryor, a Chouteau Hills housing addition has added approximately 170 new homes. Many residents prefer to live in the small community and to commute to work in the larger towns and cities. State Highway 412 and U.S. Highway 69 provide easy access for commuters.
