Module Name:
Og's Farm
Designed By:
Richard Fisher - 1980
Overview:
Not all of Oklahoma suffered from
the infamous Dust Bowl. Tulsa and the surrounding area was (and still
is) called “Green Country” because of its moderate climate and good
soil. The family farm was a mainstay of life in the early decades of
statehood, and this diorama pays homage to those folks “down on the
farm.”
Daily life in rural Oklahoma meant long hours and hard work, including
the normal activities like laundry, garden hoeing, plowing and milking
the cow. If you look closely you can also see the dog chasing the cat,
the pigs keeping cool, ducks and geese, and MAYBE… an exotic animal or
two. Roger Miller was wrong. You can roller skate in a buffalo herd!
And that road out front… that’s the Mother Road, Route 66, replete with
Burma Shave signs
