As can be seen from this photo, the T.B. Ferguson Home Museum is getting a new coat of paint! The work is undertaken with funding raised by the Friends of the Ferguson Home, kickstarted by a generous donation from Wheeler Bros. The museum was the home of the sixth Territorial Governor of Oklahoma and publisher of the Watonga Republican.
