BRAMAN is the northern gateway to Kaw Lake. Located in northwest Kay County, just off Interstate 35 in northcentral Oklahoma, Braman is rich with the fortunes from wheat and oil production.

A replica of a wooden oil derrick at the south entrance to the city stands as a tribute to this heritage. Visit the Braman Historical Society Museum open Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Friday 9 am-12 Noon for a glimpse into the history of the community. Photos from early-day Braman also adorn the walls of the Braman Town Complex.

Across the street is the Heroes’ Tribute, a monument honoring military men and women from the community who have served since 9/11/2001 in the Warm on Terrorism. It’s a peaceful place to sit and reflect on how these Heroes have sacrificed to preserve our way of life.

Give the children the opportunity to play in the beautiful park where they will have fun twisting and turning down the colorful character slides. Then get your exercise on the walking trail..

If you’re in Braman during the summer, relax to the music of a local band on Saturday evenings in the park. Visit the town-wide yard sale on July 4th and attend the rodeo in August. Visiting in the fall? Put the Braman Bash on your schedule for the last week in September or the Christmas Parade and Craft Show the first Saturday after Thanksgiving.
