Best stops between Wichita and Dallas: Oklahoma Territorial Museum
In Guthrie, Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Territorial Museum and Carnegie Library looks at the early years of Oklahoma. It traces the state’s development from being Unassigned Lands, through the Indian resettlements and the Land Run of 1889. There’s also insight into pioneer life, and the politics behind the Oklahoma Territory becoming a fully-fledged state of the US.
Wichita to Dallas drive: Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City provides a touch of big city life on an otherwise very rural route. The big attraction is the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, which delves into multiple aspects of cowboy culture. It’s a large, detailed, multi-pronged museum.
The sight that’ll probably stick in the memory, however, is the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. This commemorates the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995 – the deadliest homegrown terrorist attack in US history.

Wichita to Dallas road trip attractions: Turner Falls Park
Turner Falls Park in Davis, Oklahoma, has a spring-fed creek running through the park. The highlight, though, is Turner Falls.
It is by no means Niagara, but the water does tumble 77ft into a seductive pool at the bottom.
There are three different swimming areas in the park – Honey Creek, the pool at the base of Turner Falls and Blue Hole Pool.
Walks will take you past caves and whitetail deer, while there’s also a somewhat out-of-place castle that you can poke your nose inside.
