History

---

Medicine Park, Oklahoma, on the edge of the Wichita Wildlife Refuge with Mt. Scott as a backdrop, began its life in 1908 the year following the return of the bison to Wildlife Refuge by Teddy Roosevelt. Medicine Park, the brainchild of one time Senator from Oklahoma Elmer Thomas, was the first planned resort town in Oklahoma with its centerpiece being Bath and Gondola Lakes with its swimming and fishing. The eccentric cobblestone cottages cheerfully line the streets, bringing smiles to the visitors and inhabitants of this little community. The red round cannonball-sized stone is a unique natural formation occurring in the Wichita Mountains. Medicine Park has been through good times and bad but never boring times. Always a resort, it catered to families, politicians and as well as the notorious. Medicine Park is in continual evolution but still keeps its historic charisma.
