Across Oklahoma State Highway 48 from the Farm, an abandoned castle sits literally just behind the tree line. My cousins and I used to explore the site when I was a little girl, and I am still fascinated by it. According to my grandfather, a man began building his wife the castle, but she passed away before he completed it. After her death, he presumably never finished what was undoubtedly an ambitious and very romantic gesture. I have asked one of my clients who is a bit of a Bristow historian about the castle, and she remembered it quite vividly. I am going to do a little research on the site. I would certainly love to learn more about this modern-day knight in shining armor!
