Krebs Heritage Museum was established to preserve the rich
heritage and history of the Krebs, Indian Territory / Oklahoma area and
in doing so provise for the pleasure and education of current and
future generations.
Krebs Heritage Museum is dedicated to preserving the physical
legacy and the experiences of the immigrants, Native Americans, and
others that developed the area known as Krebs and the surrounding towns
which all owe their existance, in great part to the development of the
coal industry in the last quarter of the 19th century.
Our goal is to collect and display as much of the social, economic,
and technical events which shaped the lives of those living in the community
and the Southeastern region of Indian Territory and later Oklahoma as
possible.
Krebs Heritage Museum is a public Trust under the Krebs Historical
Museum Authority. The City of Krebs and the citizens of Krebs are
the beneficiaries. The Krebs Historical Society built the museum and
presented it to the City of Krebs. The Museum has been in operation
since 1996.
Dedicated and determined volunteers made this museum possible.
By the way, that's Rosso, our resident coal miner sitting by the
front door. He's still waiting for the streetcar to come by and take
him to work in the mines as it did for decades in the last century. Drop
in when you're in the area and pay him a visit.

people themselves. T. Jefferson
