One of the attractions is the Alfalfa County Museum. This former hotel houses memorabilia, an old time kitchen, a schoolroom, a printing press and war items. The Sod House Museum was built around 1894 and is a restored and furnished settler's sod house complete with cellar, outbuildings, and various artifacts of pioneer life. The Ralph Cain Jr. Memorial Newspaper Museum in Carmen has a 1916 newspaper printing press using handset type and vintage equipment along with a Civil War tent and artifacts. The Carmen Depot was Oklahoma's first Kansas City, Mexico, and Orient depot. The Great Salt Plains State Park invites many tourists to come dig for the selenite crystals. The Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge invites you to take the auto tour, and go on on the nature trail. The Byron Fish Hatchery includes a 1/2 mile self-guided trail through a cat-tail marsh, forested swamp and restored mid-grass prairie. The trail also contains informational signs, observation blinds and piers to get visitors closer to wildlife.
