Edwards Store Inc
The purpose of the corporation is to secure, restore, and maintain the historic EDWARDS STORE, its 1850s log cabin and grounds overlooking the San Bois Mountains and to make it available to the general public for educational, scientific, literary and charitable activities. We will do this by focusing on its rich heritage in Indian Territory and the Choctaw Nation, its role in western expansion of the United States along the Butterfield Overland Mail, and its importance (past, present and future) to Red Oak and the state of Oklahoma.

The Edwards Store The Edwards Store cabin stands today tucked away on a country lane in a wooded valley of southeastern Oklahoma. Held within the handhewn log walls of the cabin are the stories of 170 years of inhabitants and visitors who crossed its threshold and lived a history spanning from the frontier days of Indian Territory to modern day Oklahoma. The logcabin structure was built by Thomas Edwards an Englishman whose world travels brought him to Indian Territory in the 1840s. He married a Choctaw native Nancy Hardaway and the couple established a store at their new homeplace on the Fort Smith to Boggy Depot road one of the very paths the Hardaway family had been forced to take years before when Choctaw natives were forced from their Mississippi homes to resettle in Indian Territory in what we know today as the Trail of Tears.
