Exploring the West,
One Story & Museum at a Time

Hey friend, I’m Kaitlyn!
Welcome to my blog, ‘The Active Historian.’
I write about American Western history, Oklahoma history, and museums. I was born and raised in Oklahoma and still call it home.
I enjoy writing about places I have visited and photographed. The map below is interactive! You can zoom in and out, clicking on the pins. The orange pins are museums or historic sites and the blue pins are photo spots. Each pin corresponds to a post on my blog or Instagram account.
Thank you for being here and reading my posts, I hope you learn something new. Please contact me if you have any questions!
