Bristow History Museum Grand Re-Opening!

The Bristow Historical Society has been hard at work restoring the Bristow Historical Museum at the Bristow Depot. As many of you will recall, as part of the agreement that brought the Polar Express to Bristow several years ago, the Historical Society needed to disassemble, pack and store the museum artifacts and displays. While the Polar Express was a wonderful plus for the city, sadly we have had to live without our beautiful History Museum. No longer!

Bristow Girl Scout Troop 761 On a Mission with “Loads of Love” Project

Sadly, emergency removal from a home and placement into Foster Care is required all too frequently. Adding to the abrupt displacement and frightening circumstances when a child (or children) are removed from a home, often treasured items - a special toy, a stuffed animal, a favorite book or photos - are left behind.

No One Knows Bristow Like You Do!

SHARE YOUR STORY - CELEBRATE BRISTOW! I expect every small city and town has a few citizens that REALLY know the town, its people, its history, the movers and shakers - the 'doers'. Still, I think Bristow is exceptional in this regard. Every week, in my conversations with business owners and other area residents, I learn new things about the people and fabric of Bristow - fun stuff, interesting stuff, great stuff!

It’s Washington’s Birthday, Not President’s Day – IMHO

What we today call “Presidents Day” is in fact Washington’s birthday. Just like a republican people must on occasion be reminded of the need for manly assertiveness and modest gratitude, so too must they be reminded of examples of human greatness. First instituted as a federal holiday in 1879, this day ought to celebrate Washington, not an abstraction called “presidents.” There is no meaning in celebrating “presidents” generally, and for this reason, the holiday today has no real content, being viewed as merely another day off work.
