See
1 Creek Nation Council House, 100 W 6th St (In Old Downtown), ☏ +1 918-759-6979, [email protected]. Tu-Sa 10AM-4PM. The Creek Nation Council House dates from Indian Territory days and was used until just before Statehood. Some of the many artifacts contained within its walls include a collection of unique and exquisite Creek tribal objects as well as medallions from various leaders (including one from King George III). Well worth the trek down The Okmulgee Beeline for a tour. Street signs in the Muskogee language. Downtown area street signs are in both Muskogee and English. Most people under 40 can speak English, as it's taught in school, but if you're speaking to anyone older you may need to learn a few useful Muskogee phrases to get around. (updated Sep 2021)
