Grant Foreman House

Grant Foreman House is a residence in Muskogee that displays original furnishings, artifacts, and extensive documentation related to Oklahoma's history. The rooms contain personal items and collections that reflect the daily life of its former inhabitants.

Judge John R. Thomas built the house in 1898 after acquiring land from the Principal Chief of the Creek Nation. The period of its construction marked a significant transition in Oklahoma's territorial development.

Grant and Carolyn Foreman, both historians, created their scholarly works about Oklahoma's development here and left behind records of their research. Their books and notes remain visible throughout the rooms, showing their dedication to documenting regional history.

The property is managed by the Three Rivers Museum in partnership with the Oklahoma Historical Society and is open for visitors. Guided tours through the residence provide insight into its history and collections.

The grounds contain a red oak tree dating to 1898 that has grown since the house was built. The Foremans planted California oak acorns during their honeymoon, and these trees also thrive on the property today.
