The history of Oklahoma City’s government, from the City’s first unofficial mayor who was shot in a land dispute to our present form of government can be explored in a free exhibit in City Hall titled “Oklahoma City! Sooner or Later...”

Oklahoma City’s history from 1889 to the present is presented through photos, documents and text. Topics include the birth of Oklahoma City, growth, equality, transparency, MAPS and the evolution to the Council-Manager form of government.

The self guided exhibit is free and open to the public year-round.

The Sooner or Later exhibit is made possible by a grant from the Oklahoma Humanities Council and the We the People initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The City of Oklahoma City matched the grant funds and partnered with the Metropolitan Library System, Oklahoma Historical Society, Oklahoma Publishing Company, Oklahoma City Museum of Art and Retro Metro OKC.
