DIRECTIONS
From Oklahoma City, you can take I-40 West to Weatherford. Exit Highway 54 South and turn East on Highway 54B, right into Colony. Or, you can turn West on 54A and check out Corn, Oklahoma, which was spelled Korn until after World War I. Corn was established by Mennonite farmers, mostly by Germans from Russia, who brought the turkey red wheat to Oklahoma. Surprisingly a very recent trip to corn revealed a small herd of longhorn cattle in downtown Corn. Corn also has a museum downtown. The little known gem, Crowder Lake is also accessed off of Highway 54 South.
Or, you can take historic Route 66 to El Reno, and stop by Robert’s Grill and Ed will make you a terrific onion burger, or as Winston Scambler said when he was 6 years old, enjoy the best bacon he had ever eaten in his entire life. You could explore Ft. Reno, before rejoining I-40 to Weatherford. Now you more options. First, you could take Highway 58 South and drop by Lasley Farms where Zelma Payne Lasley makes the best peanut brittle in the world. Or you can continue on into Eakly and visit Marilyn Joyce Mabry Carney, the editor and publisher of the Country Connection. If you decided not to visit Zelma or Joyce, you will pass the crop dusters runway just before taking 54B West into Colony.
THE SCENIC HIGHWAY
The shortest, and most scenic route, unless you decide to turn right on airport road and visit the Tom Stafford Museum, an affiliate of the Smithsoneon, dedicated to hometown boy, Thomas Stafford, visit SWOSU in Weatherford, or the new Lucille’s Roadhouse, [which has charging stations for your Tesla} is to turn South on Airport Road and drive five miles until you hit the end as it curves west for one mile until you reach the first stop sign, and turn south on 2420 Rd. The Scenic Highway dispels the myth that western Oklahoma is flat, and devoid of trees. You will also see the crops in season, Cotton, Wheat, Corn, undisturbed Native Grass, and Feed. The landscape is beautiful and once you turn south, onto the nice, smooth road, you will be in Washita County. Follow this road right into Colony —- it was built by James Gee.
Colony is approximately 85.5 miles from Oklahoma City and takes about an hour and fifteen to twenty minutes, if you don’t stop for the hamburger, to arrive at the center of the known universe.
