The George M. Murrell Home was built in 1845 in Park Hill, Oklahoma, after Mr. Murrell and his family were forced to leave Tennessee during the Trail of Tears. George Murrell was born in Virginia and loved the plantations and large-frame architecture of the homes from his hometown, so he built one upon his arrival in present-day Oklahoma.
The Murrell Home is the last remaining antebellum plantation home in Oklahoma. It is now a museum, open to the public.
