On May 3, 1999, the town of Mulhall was nearly blown off the map by an F4 tornado. With the loss of the elementary school, the only grocery store, and the majority of the homes, the future of the town seemed uncertain at best. But the residents of Mulhall were determined not to let their home town disappear. Ten years later, with hard work and a lot of patience, the town has rebuilt and is better than ever.

On May 23, 2009 we celebrate ten years of progress and stop to appreciate those who have helped us along the way. Join us for our annual Mulhall Day Celebration and help us celebrate being "Back on the Map!"

Mulhall is located north of Guthrie on Hwy 77 and is easily accessible from I-35. Just take the exit at Hwy 51 or Mulhall Road.
