Editing Muskogee County, Oklahoma (section)

==Education==
Education was a high priority after the Civil War, with schools started by churches, private individuals, and the Cherokee and Creek nations. Higher educational opportunities were offered after 1880 when [[Bacone College]], Oklahoma's oldest, began as Indian University in Tahlequah, but was moved to the Creek Nation in present Muskogee County in 1885. Evangel Mission, a school at Union Agency for Creek freedmen, operated in the 1880s and now houses the [[Five Civilized Tribes Museum]] in Muskogee. A facility for educating visually impaired people opened at Fort Gibson in 1898. Later moved to Muskogee, it became the [[Oklahoma School for the Blind]]. Minerva Home, a school for girls in Muskogee, became Henry Kendall College in 1894, which moved to Tulsa and became the [[University of Tulsa]] in 1920. [[Northeastern State University]] opened a branch campus in Muskogee in 1994.<ref name="EOHC-MuskogeeCo"/>
