Filling the first gallery of the Chickasaw Council House Museum is the first Council House of the Chickasaw Nation built in Indian Territory.  The Council House is preserved and protected within the museum.  Visitors can experience the log building that played such a pivotal role in the early history of the Chickasaw government.

Other exhibits center around Chickasaw culture and artifacts from the homelands in Mississippi, dating from before and around the time of contact with Europeans.

The second gallery of the museum has recently undergone renovation and has exhibits honoring notable Chickasaw individuals, such as major league baseball player Euel "Monk" Moore, astronaut John Herrington, opera singer Lushanya, singer and teacher Ataloa and storyteller Te Ata.
