ROMP Open in downtown Locust Grove!

As we prepare for our move down the street to a new building starting on Nov. 22, our open hours will be erratic. If you are coming from out of town to visit, please message us here on Facebook or email ROMPoetry@gmail.com or text 918-864-9152 to ensure we will be open. We will generally be open our normal days, Thu. & Fri., 10-4, and Sat. 10-3, but not always. We can be open other days and times, too. We want you to experience the museum, so don’t hesitate to contact us! Thank you.
