What does Moore-Lindsay House reveal about life in the once young city of Norman, Oklahoma?
About this episode
Rachel Hopkin explores the Moore-Lindsay Historical House Museum to uncover insights about life in early Norman, Oklahoma.
In this episode, How Curious host Rachel Hopkin visits the Moore-Lindsay Historical House Museum in Norman, Oklahoma. The first glimmerings of Norman as a named place began with a government survey team, then grew as it became a stop on the railroad. Then came the 1889 land run which turned Norman into a city virtually overnight. Ten years later, the Moore-Lindsay House was built. Rachel explores what the house - plus what is known about its early residents - tell us about life in the young city well over a century ago.
