About Us: Our museum features the homestead and possessions of T.W. & Etta Dunfee on their SW Oklahoma farm.

​

In 1908, T.W. Dunfee moved his family to the nation’s newest state – Oklahoma. He purchased a quarter section of land near Faxon, where he and his wife Etta established the Dunfee Family Farm. The Dunfee’s only grandchild, Cecil Dunfee Labude, took over the operation from his grandpa in 1939 and with his wife Gloria farmed it for 70 consecutive years. Cecil left the Dunfee Family Farm to his youngest child, Kevin Labude upon his death in 2011.

​

Kevin and his wife Janet decided to open a “living history” type of museum in the spring of 2024.The museum features the Dunfee’s 1908 temporary and permanent homes, both fully furnished with all the Dunfee’s original furniture and possessions. Our barns house dozens of antique vehicles and antique tractors and hundreds of early 20th century Americana displays. We have a room dedicated to “Dust Bowl” history as well as Mr. Dunfee’s original Broom Shop where brooms are still made on his original equipment. Various events are held each year ranging from broom making and farming demonstrations to threshing bees.

​

What makes the Dunfee Farm Museum different from other farm museums is that the Dunfee’s moved here during the early part of the “Machine Age”. This makes the Dunfee farm an example of the mechanization of early 20th century farming, a transition from horses and buggies to tractors and automobiles.

You can spend one hour or an entire day viewing the exhibits. Please join us and help keep the legacy of the Dunfee Family Farm alive.
