Guthrie is a city in and the county seat of Logan County. It is home to more than 9,000 residents. Guthrie was the territorial and later the first state capital for Oklahoma. Guthrie is nationally significant because of its outstanding collection of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century commercial architecture. The Guthrie Historic District has been designated a National Historic Landmark. Victorian architecture provides a unique backdrop for Wild West and territorial-style entertainment, carriage tours, replica trolley cars, specialty shops, and art galleries. It remains as a rare and well-preserved Victorian enclave thanks to careful planning much of the entire central business and residential district of Guthrie is intact. Historical tourism has become a significant industry for the town. Guthrie is the largest urban Historic district in the United States, containing 2,169 buildings, 1,400 acres and 400 city blocks. Guthrie has two lakes south of it, Liberty Lake and Guthrie Lake. It is home to several museums, including the Oklahoma Territorial Museum, and the Guthrie Scottish Rite Masonic Temple. Guthrie also claims to be the “Bed and Breakfast capital of Oklahoma”. The city hosts the Oklahoma International Bluegrass Festival, which draws 15,000 visitors annually. Guthrie is also the home to Oklahoma’s oldest year-round professional theatre company, the Pollard Theatre Company. This strong tie to its history and a broad range of activities make Guthrie a unique place to live and work.
