Guthrie, OK Photos |
Guthrie was the first Territorial Capital of Oklahoma, but after the editor of the local newspaper wrote critically of certain politicians, they took revenge by moving the capital to Oklahoma City. Guthrie became locked in time as a small town & today offers visitors a large collection of fancy Victorian buildings. |
