Information

This building was built in ~1911 and was the home of "The Collinsville News" until 1987. Once Collinsville's oldest continuous business and also Tulsa County's oldest newspaper was the Collinsville News, which printed its first edition on May 11, 1899, at the original townsite, and its last in April of 2014. Three generations of the Wright family published the News for eighty-eight years before selling it to the Retherford family in 1987. This same building at 1110 Main Street in downtown Collinsville has been home to the "Newspaper Museum In Collinsville" since May 1999.
