Located in Duncan, Oklahoma, the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center and the Garis Gallery of the American West function as cultural institutions that document Western history and art. The center presents interactive exhibitions and a 4D theater that features an 18-minute film illustrating a longhorn stampede and a southern plains thunderstorm, along with a Campfire Theater that explains how the Chisholm Trail earned its name. The Garis Gallery houses a multi-million-dollar art collection and includes the largest single sculpture dedicated to the Chisholm Trail, Paul Moore's On the Chisholm Trail. Within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, it serves visitors interested in regional history, Western art, and local cultural experiences. In January 2024, Leah Mulkey was named executive director, marking a leadership change. The operation appears to have a very small staff.
