Join us this summer for a First Person: Stories of Hope program. Family members, survivors, first responders, journalists, and people involved with rebuilding our city and creating the Memorial will share the remarkable stories of their experiences from April 19, 1995, to the present. Museum visitors can ask questions and learn firsthand how tragedy was transformed into hope. First Person is offered in the Museum on Fridays at 1:30 p.m. from June 4th to August 27th, or for groups by appointment. The program is included free with Museum admission.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper in 1995
On April 19, 1995, Charlie Hanger made a routine traffic stop that ended with the arrest of Timothy McVeigh, who was later charged, convicted and executed for the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
Hanger began his nearly 30 year career with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol as a dispatcher in 1972, and served in a variety of roles, including Field Supervisor to Troop-K and supervisor for the Special Operations Troop assigned to the Criminal Interdiction Unit. In January 2005, Hanger began a new law enforcement career as the Sheriff of Noble County.
