At noon on September 16, 1983, over 100,000 people raced into the Cherokee Outlet to claim a 160-acre homestead or town lot. The largest of the Oklahoma land runs, the Cherokee Outlet Land Run opened six million acres to settlement. By nightfall settlers’ camps dotted the prairie, and buildings were springing up in the newly settled towns. The new 24,000 sq. ft. Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, opening in the spring of 2011, will feature all new exhibits, a Temporary Exhibit Gallery to host traveling exhibits, a research center, a theater and a gift shop.
