Since 1973 the Western Oklahoma Historical Society has honored outstanding citizens from Western Oklahoma by inducting them into the Western Oklahoma Hall of Fame. Those individuals were honored for bringing attention to, preserving the heritage of, or providing a more prosperous future to Western Oklahoma. The inductees are recognized at a banquet and receive a commemorative plaque. A large plaque also hangs in the Old Town Museum with the names of all the inductees and the year of their induction. For a list of previous inductees see https://westernoklahomahistoricalsociety.org/western-oklahoma-hall-of-fame/.
