d.w. correll museum

This is a great little museum to spend an hour while in the Catoosa area. Gems and minerals, automobiles from the past and wagons, and various other collections of antique bottles. Went for an event of rock sales and trading and would highly recommend keeping an eye out for these special events if you like finding 'treasures' from around the world.

The D.W. Correll Museum has seen some hard times but with a new curator the museum is getting the face lift that it needed. They have several building that are open housing rocks, minerals and gems and the antique cars that have been collected over the years. A great place to take your family.

I have recently visited the DW Correll museum and found it quite interesting. The onsite museum attendant was very helpful with local history surrounding the late DW Correll and the history of the townof Catoosa in general. The museum location and items were left in trust to the City of Catoosa by Mr. Correll. The family home is also onsite and currently occupied by the Mr Corrells relatives. Many minerals and rock formations are on display along with colectible liquor decanters and glass. The real gem in this is the collection of antique cars and buggies from many days gone by. If you are a car enthusiast you will enjoy the collection of steam powered automobiles as well as the various cars ranging to 1930's models. A good hour of your time could be spent looking through the collection of newspaper articles surrounding the construction of the Port of Catoosa.
