100th Meridian Museum

The 100th Meridian Museum in Erick, Oklahoma is located in the historic First National Bank Building on the SW corner of Route 66 and Sheb Wolley Ave at the stop light. The museum is dedicated to the presentation of the 100th Meridian Line for the past 166 years. It is only open by appointment, call to make arrangements.

Constructed in 1907 the bank occupied the front 60 feet of the first floor and a barber shop the back 20 feet. Oddly enough the elaborate ornamentation on the building only extended as far as the bank section. At one time there was another barber shop in the basement. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979

The former Roger Miller Museum is just across the street and the Sandhills Curiosity Shop is just down Sheb Wooley Avenue a block or so.
