Oklahoma Hall of Fame, telling Oklahoma’s story through its people. Founded in 1927, the Oklahoma Hall of Fame was created to honor Oklahomans who had given outstanding service to the state during their lifetime. Being inducted to the Oklahoma Hall of Fame is the highest honor an Oklahoman can receive from the state. The Oklahoma Hall of Fame preserves Oklahoma’s unique history while promoting pride in our great state. The Oklahoma Hall of Fame inspires Oklahomans of all ages, instilling pride by telling the stories of extraordinary people. Each of its programs strive to accomplish that goal. The organization has hosts the Oklahoma Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony each November. We honor Oklahomans who have contributed to our state’s rich heritage by making strides in their industry and bettering mankind. The Oklahoma Hall of Fame also supports education in a variety of ways, including offering tuition grants and scholarships to Oklahoma high school students. Oklahoma Hall of Fame Publishing is the leader in publishing Oklahoma's history. At the Gaylord-Pickens Museum, visitors can meet notable and lesser known accomplished Oklahomans through interactive exhibits.
