Elk City has always been a shining example of "Western Hospitality". It comes natural when you come from a proud, pioneering history combined with a quality of life that makes Elk City an ideal place to live and work.

Elk City features five museums: the Old Town Museum, the National Route 66 Museum, the National Transportation Museum, the Farm and Ranch Museum, and the Blacksmith Museum..

Elk City is also in close proximity to many other attractions in Western Oklahoma, including Foss State Park, the Washita National Wildlife Refuge, Black Kettle National Grassland, the Wichita Mountains, the Antelope Hills, the Quartz Mountains, and the Washita Battlefield National Historic Site.

Elk City Golf & Country Club is a short, scenic, fair, and challenging layout that plays to a par of 71. The course is “friendly” to the average golfer, but it is not easy by any means: all greens are small targets (average is under 3,000 sq ft), subtly undulated, and some play even smaller because of “false” sides or undulations which makes precise iron play a necessity for low scoring.

For 80 years, Elk City has hosted one of the most renown rodeos in the state of Oklahoma. The PRCA Rodeo of Champions, held every Labor Day weekend at the Beutler Brothers Arena, brings thousands of visitors to watch top ranked cowboys and cowgirls compete for cash and points as they ride, rope or wrestle their way to win national titles.

Early Oklahoma pioneer life is depicted as visitors wander through this grand tow story Victorian house. Visitors will find the lower level of the house filled with early pioneer life, Stars & Stripes Room, Native American Gallery, and Elk City's own Susan Powell Miss America 1981 displays among the many sites to see. The upper level is devoted to the early cowboy and rodeo way of life. Numerous items are on display that have been donated by the world famous Beutler Brothers Rodeo Stock Producers. The Beutler Ranch is just north of Elk City and they have been producing award winning rodeo stock since 1929.
