Drummond Heirlooms exhibit opens

An exhibit at the Fred and Addie Drummond Home will feature Drummond family heirlooms and attic treasures through the month of September. The exhibit will be on display from September 1 to September 30, 2021.

As a reflection of financial success, Fred and Addie built a substantial home in Hominy. The three-story, Victorian-style house, completed in 1905, features a central square tower, second-floor balcony, and false dormers. The first floor is constructed of native sandstone, while the upper floors are frame covered by painted shingles of light and dark green (pictured above). Light for the house was supplied by a gas-generating unit located in the basement, and water came from a cistern and was distributed by air pressure.

The house was deeded to the Oklahoma Historical Society in 1980 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The Fred and Addie Drummond Home is located at 305 North Price Avenue in Hominy. The historic home is open for tours Wednesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.

Due to staffing limitations, we recommend calling prior to your visit. Call 918-885-2374 to learn more.

By 1896 the Drummonds were the parents of four of their six children: Blanche, Alfred Alexander (Jack), Roy Cecil (Cecil), and Frederick Gentner (Gentner) pictured here with their mother Addie. Following the death of their father Fred Drummond in 1913, the three sons formed the Drummond Cattle Company, which prospered well into the next decade.
