In 1927, Anna B. Korn founded the Oklahoma Memorial Association and the Oklahoma Hall of Fame to honor Oklahomans who had given outstanding service to the state during their lifetimes.
In 1960, the non-profit organization began considering building a facility to display the busts and portraits of Hall of Fame inductees. A decade later, the Hefner family donated the Hefner Mansion to the organization as a place to do just that. In 1971, the board voted to change the name to Oklahoma Heritage Association to reflect the organization’s expanded role in the preservation of Oklahoma history.
2001 brought a new beginning to the organization when it purchased the historic Mid-Continent Life Insurance Building in Oklahoma City from American Fidelity Assurance Company with a gift from Edward L. Gaylord. In 2004, the OHA began renovating and refurbishing the building to create a new Museum that would tell Oklahoma’s history through its people. One year later, Boone Pickens matched Gaylord’s gift to provide the OHA funds for the renovations of the facility and development of exhibitory.
In late 2006, the Association’s staff moved into the 1927 facility in preparation for the grand opening of the
Edward L. Gaylord-Boone Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum on May 10, 2007, 80 years to the date after the historic building was opened for the first time.
