Grant Foreman House, Historical residence in Muskogee, United States.
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.
Of the 350 trees Judge Thomas planted, only one large red oak in the northwest corner still stands. The acorns Grant and Carolyn Foreman gathered on their 1905 honeymoon in California apparently survived to the present, so the trees grown from them are not lost.
