Info
The Oklahoma Hall of Fame was founded by the Oklahoma Memorial Association, a group founded in 1927 by Anna B. Korn with the purpose of establishing the hall of fame. In the 1970s, the Hefner Mansion was donated to the association to house the exhibits and busts or portraits of the inductees, and the organization changed its name to the Oklahoma Heritage Association in 1971. It then moved into the former Mid-Continent Life Insurance Building in Oklahoma City in 2007. It became the Gaylord-Pickens Museum and provides the Oklahoma Hall of Fame a public home.To be eligible for induction, an individual must satisfy the following criteria:
Reside in Oklahoma or be a former resident of the state.
Have performed outstanding service to humanity, the State of Oklahoma and the United States.
Be known for their public service throughout the state.In 2000, the rules were changed to allow for posthumous nominations.
Busts or paintings of the inductees can be seen at the Gaylord-Pickens Museum in Oklahoma City. 669 members have been inducted since 1928.
