Creek National Capitol

Creek National Capitol, also known as Creek Council House, is a building in downtown Okmulgee, Oklahoma, United States. It was the capitol of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation from 1878 until 1907. They had established their capital at Okmulgee in 1867, after the American Civil War.

After Oklahoma was admitted as a state in 1907, the Creek lost control of this building and communal territory to the United States government, by a 1908 act. It continued to lease the building to recently organized Okmulgee County, Oklahoma for its use. In 1919 the U.S. Department of the Interior, which had trust responsibility for Creek lands, sold the building and site to the city of Okmulgee.

In 1961 the building was declared a National Historic Landmark, and in 1966 it was one of the first listings on National Register of Historic Places. In November 2010 the city sold the building back to the tribe for $3.2 million. The building houses the Creek Council House Museum, featuring artifacts and exhibits about the history of the Muscogee tribe and the arts and crafts of other Native American tribes.

In 1992, it was included again on the National Register as a contributing building in the listing of the Okmulgee Downtown Historic District.
