Preserving A Bit of History!

The Talbot Library and Museum in Colcord, Oklahoma, specializing in Native American, Oklahoma, and Cherokee history

Welcome to the Talbot Library & Museum!

The Talbot Library and Museum in Colcord, Delaware County, Oklahoma was established by Virgil and Avis Talbot in 1987.

We are a free museum and library available for historical and genealogical research of Native American history

and the areas of Northeast Oklahoma, Northwest Arkansas, and Cherokee Territory.

Our facilities include a multi-building museum and we are organized to own, possess, and operate the

Talbot Library and Museum for the use and benefit of the community, its citizens, and all others

who are interested for educational, genealogical, and historical purposes.

The Library and Museum operates solely on donations, fundraising, and sales of our book store & gift shop items.

At Talbot Library & Museum,
the Search for History Never Ends....

"Through history we can extend ourselves beyond the brief span of time allotted to us. History must be recorded.....Unwritten history may be lost forever and leave a blank space in the Chronicles of Time. So if what appears to be fact today, proves false tomorrow, correct it and move on.

Errors can be corrected, lost history cannot.
The search for history never ends....."

--Excerpt from the "Introduction" to the book A Bit of History by Virgil Talbot, founder of Talbot Library & Museum
