The Museum
The Museum portion of the OPOMAC utilizes the area that once housed the mail boxes that served Graham for 57 years. The service desks are still in place and display cases have taken the place of individual mailboxes, filled with the history of our community. From the founding of Graham to the historical businesses and buildings that make our square unique...we are telling the stories of our community through artifacts, stories and people.

Alexandre Hogue (1898 - 1994) was an internationally known artist and University of Tulsa Art Professor Emeritus when he painted this mural in 1939. During the 1930s, many of the Lone Star painters were commissioned by the Federal Government to execute murals on public buildings throughout the State of Texas, and Alexandre Hogue's sketches were chosen by a local committee for a mural for the new U.S. Post Office in Graham. Titled "The Oil Fields of Graham," the scene depicts the area's economic base, oil and natural gas production, and agriculture.
