Discover Hinton

When looking for a hotel in Hinton, it helps to organize your trip around its themes. Golf options include the public 18-hole course and its practice facilities; historical highlights range from the museum and Parker House to the mural and rodeo. Plan seasonal nature observations and regularly offered classes around the time of year or your travel dates.

Golf in Hinton

The Hinton Golf Club is a public 18-hole golf course. In addition to the course, it has a driving range and practice facilities. If you want to play a round, you’ll find a different option here than if you’re looking specifically to practice or take a golf lesson: the club also offers lessons. Availability may change. If instruction is important to your trip, check current lesson options in advance. This will help you decide whether to include a round, practice, or instruction in your plans.

Museum, Parker House, and Main Street

The Hinton Historical Museum & Parker House houses Oklahoma’s largest collection of horse-drawn carriages. Parker House is a two-story, pink, wood-frame farmhouse located next to the Hinton Historical Museum. The Hinton Historical Museum also houses items relating to local and Oklahoma history. The carriage collection and historical objects have different focuses: one centers on a specific collection, while the other covers local and state history.

Another historical highlight is the mural on Hinton Main Street. It is inspired by an original photograph of the street from 1908. Unlike the carriage collection or the museum objects, the mural depicts a specific street scene; its historical source is part of its story.

Rodeo Tradition

The Kiwanis Rodeo in Hinton began in 1931 and continued as an annual event into the 21st century. This history tells the story of a long-standing tradition, but it is not a current event calendar. If you’d like to include a rodeo in your trip, check the dates for your travel period.

Trails and Fall Foliage

Red Rock Canyon Adventure Park has hiking trails with wagon-wheel ruts left by travelers on the historic California Trail. These ruts give the trails a historical connection. Fishing is also available there.

In fall, visitors can also see the foliage of the Caddo maple trees found there. The timing of the color change varies from year to year. This seasonal nature experience differs from the wagon-wheel ruts: fall foliage depends on when you visit, while the ruts reflect the park’s historical connection.

Basket-Weaving Classes and Products

Sandy Springs Farms in Hinton regularly offers basket-weaving classes. The class schedule may change. Customers can also pick up Oklahoma-made buffalo jerky, meat snacks, and summer sausage there. Product availability may change. You can plan a possible class date and check the products on offer separately.
