Lawton
Lawton, Oklahoma's fifth-largest city, is surrounded by endless plains and prairies in the southwest of the state, with only the Wichita Mountains to the north providing any visual variety. It is the ideal location to go if you want to learn more about the history and culture of the Great Plains and is home to a number of fascinating museums.
A recreation of a trading post, antiques, and educational exhibits on the history of the region's settlement can all be found in the Museum of the Great Plains. The Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center also showcases the rich legacy and history of the tribe, and visitors can explore several historic structures in the Fort Sill Museum.
Visitors to Lawton can take advantage of its abundance of parks and outdoor recreation spaces in addition to its fantastic public museums. Even while swimming and boating are popular activities, no trip is complete without taking in the breathtaking scenery of the wild Wichita Mountains.
