Comanche Museum hosting Quanah Parker Day
On Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022 the Comanche County Historical Museum will be celebrating Quanah Parker Day beginning at 10 a.m.

Quanah Parker artifacts will be on exhibit at the Museum with Lee White, a Museum Board member, present to share information related to the artifacts. Another special guest, Rod Corpus, a Comanche Native American is expected to be present. The Museum invites all to attend this special day. We also invite you to use our south gate on the frontage road.
