I visited Oklahoma City for the first time ever this year, while I was covering Tom Coburn’s Senate race. I had a few hours free one afternoon and went to the Oklahoma City National Memorial, the site of the 1995 bombing. It’s not the kind of tourist destination you actually enjoy – you wish there were no need for it — yet I found the memorial quite affecting. I wasn’t sure the museum would be worth visiting, but in some ways it was the best part of the whole memorial. Well worth an hour or two.
