Our Vision

To see Okemah’s historic downtown fully revitalized, a vibrant center of commerce, culture, and community where historic buildings are restored, small businesses thrive, and residents and visitors alike are proud to gather, shop, and celebrate.

Our Mission

At Okemah Main Street, our mission is simple yet powerful:

  • Revive the Historic Heart of Okemah

  • Support Small Business Growth

  • Enhance Community Pride Through Thoughtful Restoration

We do this by bringing people together — business owners, residents, and community leaders — to invest in our downtown’s future while honoring its past.

Core Values

  • Old brick building with arched windows, small storefronts, and a sunset with sun rays

    Preservation with Purpose

    Historic buildings deserve new life, serving both present and future generations.

  • Exterior view of Mosaic Grind Coffee shop with fall decorations including pumpkins, scarecrows, and bench. The shop has a glass door with a coffee cup logo and large windows. The building is painted black with a white brick upper facade displaying the words 'Coffee Eats Events Stay.'

    Sustainable Growth

    Economic development that benefits small businesses and strengthens local

  • A multi-story beige building with green awnings over the windows and entrance, sign reading 'American Legion' and benches outside on the sidewalk.

    Beautification & Pride

    A welcoming, attractive downtown draws visitors, inspires residents, and sparks new energy.

Why It Matters

A thriving Main Street means more than restored buildings. It means:

  • A stronger local economy.

  • A destination that attracts new businesses and visitors.

  • A town where families feel proud to live, shop, and spend time.

Join us in our mission to restore, revive, and reimagine the heart of Okemah. Together, we’re building more than a Main Street…

We’re building a legacy.
