At the Hayes House you will be treated to an elegant experience as you step back in time. This three-story home filled with antique Victorian and French furnishings, turn of the century chandeliers, and fine oak woodwork has an interesting history. Oscar Hayes was a wealthy businessman in Muskogee when Oklahoma was Indian Territory. His desire was to be the first Governor of Oklahoma in 1907 when it became a state. He began construction on the house that year with the intention of making this house the Governor''s Mansion. Unfortunately, he did not win the race, but his home stands today as an elegant and welcoming abode to travelers.
