Har-Ber Village Museum is a pioneer-era village and history museum located on the picturesque wooded shores of Grand Lake o’ the Cherokees in Grove, Oklahoma. The site features over 100 exhibits displayed inside authentic log cabins and reproduction buildings, presenting a huge collection of well-preserved items from the past. This includes dolls, boy scout and girl scout memorabilia, military items, spoons, marbles, furniture, equipment, and so much more. Notable buildings include a church, courthouse, and jail. The Village offers a wonderful place that takes visitors back in time to a slower paced era. The exhibits have been recently renovated and are presented in interesting displays. Paths through the village are paved and easy to follow with arrows, though the grounds are very hilly, which is worth noting for those with walking issues. The walk is about a mile with some uphill sections, but there are plenty of places to stop and rest. Several buildings have air conditioning for a break. The museum is very dog-friendly, requiring dogs to be on a leash. Monthly special events and regularly scheduled historic craft demonstrations and workshops are featured, such as spinning yarn and operating an 1860s loom. There is also a Christmas village event with activities like a craft station and visits with Santa. The gift shop is small but staffed by helpful individuals. A cafe is currently closed but expected to reopen. The price of admission is very good. With so much to see, visitors can easily spend an entire day or longer exploring this amazing and quiet little community. It is a great collection and well worth the visit.
Enjoyed as a child and also as adult my kids loved it ❤️

Lot of historical items to see. Great reenactment. Plan on spending a few hours there. Only issue was the food trucks were overwhelmed.
