Jim Thorpe House, Historic residence in Yale, Oklahoma, United States.
The Jim Thorpe House is a single-story residence in Yale featuring bungalow-style architecture from the 1910s. The building was constructed with wooden elements and techniques typical of that era.
The house was built in 1916 and Jim Thorpe lived there from 1917 to 1923. The Oklahoma Historical Society acquired it in 1968 and opened it as a museum.
The house reflects how Jim Thorpe lived after his athletic career and his ties to Oklahoma. Visitors can see how a family made their home in early 20th century Oklahoma.
The location is in Yale on East Boston Street and is easily accessible on foot. Visits are possible on several days each week and require no admission fee.
The property was returned to the Thorpe family in 2024 while maintaining its museum status. This shift shows the lasting importance of the site to the community.
