Old Sod House Recalls Days Of Oklahoma Past
CLEO SPRINGS AP Visitors to Oklahoma hear about the land rush of 1893 but struggle to picture it. Near Cleo Springs a two room sod house built in 1894 by Marshall McCully remains, possibly the last of its kind. McCully and his wife lived there until 1939 before a frame house was built and later destroyed by fire. The sod original, preserved by the Oklahoma Historical Society since 1953, remains as a landmark of pioneer housing.
