Dewey Hotel Museum

I loved the tour of the Dewey Hotel Museum! Period correct pieces throughout including panoramic pictures (rodeo and cowboy roundups), typewriters, phonographs, loveseats, etc. At the beginning of the tour I was told that the 3rd. floor was haunted. I said I was highly skeptical, but open-minded. I proceeded to take pictures as I toured. When I got to the 3rd. floor, my Kodak automatic camera WOULD NOT focus on anything. Until, that is, I pointed it at a particular saddle. It was clear as day. I tried other items in that room to no avail. I found that if I "half clicked" on the saddle, then moved the camera to another object, it stayed focused and took a normal picture. Pictures will be posted with this review, including the unfocused ones (then the saddle) on the third floor. Is it haunted? I can't say for sure, but I plan to make the drive at a later date and keep an open mind. I suggest that you tour it yourself and see what you think.

Ron Adam’s gave us a tour and he was so friendly and full of knowledge! We loved every single minute with him. The hotel was full of local history. What a jewel. We also had the pleasure of meeting comedian Joe Sears. He was just as precious. Dewey is lucky to have them both!

This hotel gives a glimpse into life in Oklahoma before it was a state. All the rooms are detailed in period correct furnishings and all three floors are open to the public.

I grew up coming here. My mom was a historical seamstress and often worked with the museum. It's a really neat place, full of history. The ladies there were amazing and let us look around d even though we came at closing time.

It was interesting stepping back into time, seeing the historic pieces, hearing stories of how one man who married outside his race and held diverse friendships, overcame obstacles and opposition to help build Dewey and Bartlesville.

My wife, her friend and I went on the, "History and Haunts" tour last night. Jordan and his wife were amazing hosts/guides. They were very informative about the history of the hotel, in a very fun way. We asked lots of questions and learned so much about the hotel and history of the area.

As you walk up the old brick sidewalk towards the gorgeous and historical hotel, you are wowed by the architecture of the place. The wrap around porch is gorgeous, enhanced further by the flickering mock flame lanterns hanging sporadically. As the double doors to the front open, you are greeted by a man in a Victorian Era suit, complete with a top hat and fancy cane.

This is Jordan. His friendly energy is inviting. His wife, Nikki, is in the room as well. When we went last night, she didn't yet have her wardrobe to match but she showed us the Victorian Era dress that she'll soon have and it is amazing! Together this husband and wife team can tell you just about everything regarding this hotel and its history. Their passion for this place is evident and exciting.

The clocks ticks loudly in the room as the tour begins. We're all given battery powered lanterns that flicker softly and truly heighten the experience. We begin on the first floor and as we tour the rooms, Jordan and his wife share their knowledge. He encourages questions, photos, looking at every detail. At no point do they ever rush you. Take your time and become immersed in the smells, sights, sounds, etc.

On this floor, I heard whispers in the dining room. My wife and her friend saw a rocking chair move on its own. Jordan and I felt an incredibly strong presence in the hallway that made the hairs on our arms stand straight up.

On the 2nd floor, more activity. I saw a small boy in the kids room. I tried to get a picture but unfortunately I pulled my camera up too late. We did get several interesting pictures of a fog like substance in different areas.

The 3rd floor was easily the most intense floor. The presence was heavy. Increasingly uninviting as the night went on. My wife used her device to listen and we were told to leave at least 3 times. Growling was caught as well as hissing. My wife heard the moans of a woman. Our friend felt a strong pinch on her arm. This floor is not the place to spend the night alone.

As we finished our tour of the three floors, we all gathered downstairs and talked. We shared our experiences and Jordan told us we could explore on our own, if we so dared. We are very into this stuff so of course we jumped on the chance.

Much of the experiences listed above took place after this point. Whatever was on the third floor was becoming agitated as we explored.

Overall, this was an AMAZING experience! The history was so interesting and the activity of the unseen sent it over the top. I would absolutely recommend this tour! Bring your cameras, your questions, your curiosity. You will NOT regret it!

Jordan and Nikki were phenomenal and they've gone to great lengths to make sure this experience is one you won't forget. We'll be back many times!

August 15, 2020. On a whim we came to Oklahoma and decided to get off the beaten path and do something unique!! We found the Dewey Hotel paranormal tour!! Before we started an ominous storm approached and set the mood! Rain, wind, and lightning provided a great backdrop for this haunted tour! With such an interesting and rich history it’s the perfect place to find a lot of activity!! Second and third floor didn’t disappoint and we were treated to the spirit box going off like crazy and the EMF meter was pegged several times.
If you want something to do on a Saturday night, GO!! The darkness, lit only by lanterns you carry, is scary and the spirits were active!!! Go see this hidden gem!! Thank you so much for a great tour!!!!

Very Historical, Tour Guide Is Great Love The Antique Furniture.

A walk back in the history of Dewey and of our founders, Jake Bartles and his wife Nanny Journeycake! This is the home they created together. Worth seeing!!

This is an historic hotel that has been in dewey for 121 years. The people are friendly and knowledgeable and provide a tour of the first floor. The second and third are all kept in their original state. A must see
