A BRIEF HISTORY
The earliest signs of Antlers began in the mid-1880s with a pair of antlers tacked to a tree to mark a nearby spring, followed shortly thereafter with the establishment of a post office. The town also consisted of a mercantile business, a few churches, a sawmill, and a railroad depot when it was officially incorporated in 1903.
Antlers is now the county seat of Pushamata County and spans 3.11 square miles.

The museum also hosts the annual Antlers Deer Festival each October, where families can enjoy a day of art exhibits, friendly contests, and a chili cook-off.

Or plan your own outdoor escape with a round at the Antlers Springs Golf Course, a public course featuring a 9-hole design across expertly manicured fairways and greens.
Grab a cooler and some rods for the short 30-minute trip to Hugo Lake, and make a day of reeling in largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, and shortnose gar. Or tiptoe through the dense forest as you hunt for quail, white-tailed deer, or turkey during their respective seasons. Plus, the portion of Pushamata County remains one of the few places in Oklahoma where you can hunt black bears.
