The American Pigeon Museum & Library, Bird museum in Oklahoma City, United States.
The American Pigeon Museum is a collection dedicated to the history and biology of homing pigeons located in Oklahoma City. The exhibition displays racing clocks, war artifacts, artwork, and mounted specimens across roughly 6,000 square feet of space, while a live aviary gives visitors direct contact with different breeds.
The museum was founded in 1973 as the American Homing Pigeon Institute in Wichita, Kansas and relocated to Oklahoma City in 1993. The move reflected Oklahoma's growing importance as a center for pigeon breeding and racing culture in the United States.
The museum preserves the heritage of pigeon racing, which was once a widespread hobby in America involving diverse communities. Visitors encounter different breeds that people developed and maintained across generations for sport and companionship.
The museum sits near Remington Park and major highways, making it easy to reach by car. Plan time to spend in the aviary since interacting with the birds is a central part of the visit and often happens during guided tours.
The facility houses a specialized library with international resources on pigeon breeding that allows researchers and dedicated enthusiasts to explore the subject in depth. This collection transforms the place into more than just a display and makes it a genuine resource center for serious practitioners.
