The Historic Mattie Beal Home has been named an official 2007 Oklahoma Centennial Project for southwest Oklahoma. After undergoing extensive rehabilitation in 2003-2005, the Home is again open for historical tours. The exterior has been returned to its 1923 grandeur. The interior is alive with colors of the art deco period and the grounds have been beautified with new period-appropriate landscaping. In conjunction with Lawton's birthday in 2007 the date for the official Centennial celebration at the Mattie Beal Home was August 3 and 4. The living history performance, "Mattie's Place", was performed on Friday, August 3, at 6:30 pm and Saturday, August 4, at 2:00 pm. The event was co-sponsored by the City of Lawton and partial funding for the Centennial Tours throughout the year are funded by the City of Lawton, Lawton Arts and Humanities Council, Oklahoma Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts.
