Revitalizing Okemah’s Historic Downtown

Okemah Main Street is more than a place, it’s the heartbeat of our community. By working together to restore, support, and beautify our historic downtown, we create a thriving hub where small businesses can grow, families can gather, and visitors can experience the unique spirit of Okemah.

Our Mission

To revive the historic heart of Okemah, support small business growth, and enhance community pride through thoughtful restoration and economic development.

Why It Matters

Revive the Historic Heart of Okemah

Downtown is our story…every brick, storefront, and sidewalk carries a piece of our past and future.

Historic Buildings Deserve a Second Life

Instead of being forgotten, our historic spaces can be transformed into vibrant shops, restaurants, and gathering places.

A Beautiful Main Street Attracts Growth

Visitors, new residents, and business owners are drawn to towns with character, charm, and energy
