Payne County Historical Society Reviews
The Payne County Historical Society was reconstituted in 1980. Among its objectives was the preservation and communication of the history of the region and the Payne County Historical Review was born. Mary Jane Warde accepted the task as the first editor to set a publication standard that all subsequent editors have attempted to maintain.
Over the years an outstanding amount of research, memories, pictures, and stories have contributed to capturing the spirit and history of Payne County. As we continue this tradition, it is helpful to take a moment and review the vast repertoire of articles that have been contributed to this time.
The Board of Directors has set a goal of putting future and past Reviews on the internet with searchable functions. In the meantime, we offer a listing of articles published in the past. Additional information has been added to some titles to provide information regarding the content. News and notes, messages from the Society, and other information pertaining to the Society's history have been omitted from the listing.
Past copies of many Reviews are available and can be obtained for $5.00 each by ordering directly from Payne County Historical Society Committee, 702 South Duncan, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74074. Scroll down for links to past Reviews that have been digitized and are available in PDF format.
