Beckham County Courthouse


category : Historic Courthouses
Beckham County Courthouse The impressive Beckham County Courthouse was built in 1911. If you have watched the movie, "The Grapes of Wrath," it may look familiar to you.

It appeared in the brief 30-second montage of shots depicting the beginning of the Joad family's westward journey along Oklahoma Route 66. It is actually out of geographic context, however. It shows up before the family even reaches the Pony Bridge near Bridgeport.
