Roger Miller Museum, Biographical museum in Erick, Oklahoma, United States.
The Roger Miller Museum was a museum devoted to the life and career of entertainer Roger Miller, housed in a former 1929 café and drugstore building on historic U.S. Route 66 in downtown Erick, Oklahoma, Miller's home town. Its 3,000 square feet held musical instruments, rare photos and Miller's stage costumes.
The museum opened in 2004 to honor the career of Roger Miller, a country musician born in Erick. It closed in 2017 after more than a decade of welcoming visitors.
The museum displayed stage costumes, personal items, and instruments from the career of an artist who found success in both country music and Broadway theater. His musical Big River won several Tony Awards, which was very unusual for a country singer.
The museum was located at a visible street corner in the center of Erick, making it easy to spot on foot. Since it closed in 2017, it is worth checking ahead whether it has reopened or if another venue has taken its place.
The corner where the museum stood carries the names of two different musicians, both from Erick: Roger Miller and Sheb Wooley. It is rare for such a small town to have two streets named after musicians who each found national fame.
