Historic
Fairly secluded amid the countryside near the Texas border, the small city of Durant is a cultural and economic hub for the surrounding area. The campus of Southeastern Oklahoma State University sits on the north side of town, and the institution plays a major role in defining the local culture: you’ll love cheering on the Savage Storm in everything from football to rodeo competitions, and heading to the campus for special events like the annual Oklahoma Shakespearean Festival. Durant is also famous for its magnolias, and the annual Magnolia Festival serves as the unofficial kickoff of the summer season. Lake Texoma sits just west of town, serving as a popular destination on summer afternoons. Dallas and Oklahoma City are both within day-trip distance, allowing you to visit two of the region’s most exciting metropolitan areas anytime.
