Want to visit a few museums in Oklahoma, but don’t have the time? The Edmond Genealogical Society has just the solution. Join us on Monday, June 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. to hear Jonathan Elmore, the Okie Museum Crawler, talk about the process of how he came to start the Okie Museum Crawler, and what’s he achieved so far. He’ll touch on how his museum visits interconnect us very similarly to a family tree, a kind of Okie Family Tree.

Mr. Elmore is a self-described ambassador of Oklahoma. He loves living here and wants visitors to find all the great museums, historical sites, and interesting oddities that Oklahoma has to offer. As he travels to the more than 450 museums in Oklahoma, he writes short articles and shares photos on his website, so everyone can see what’s out there to explore in our great state.

.Edmond Genealogical Society meetings are free and open to the public. Meetings are held the third Monday of each month, except December, from 2:00–3:00 pm. The meetings are held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints located at 15700 N. Penn, Oklahoma City. Enter through the doors on the south side of the building.
