Haskell, Oklahoma is located in Muskogee County. It is 26 miles from Tulsa, Oklahoma, 14 miles from Muskogee, Oklahoma, and 14.2 miles from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. While Haskell is considered a small town, there is plenty to take note of when passing through or stopping in for a visit. Here is a town guide on what you can expect to see.

The Robertson Memorial Presbyterian Church was founded in 1908. It is built from native stones and is still standing and operational to this day. This church was founded about the time Haskell came into existence. This isn't the only church found in Haskell either. Haskell host the United Pentecostal Church, First United Methodist Church, Haskell Assembly of God, Haskell First Baptist Church, Eastside First Baptist Church, Lighthouse Free Wheel Baptist, and the Landmark Bible Church.

When it comes to grocery shopping, these are the stores which are available. Homeland is the major grocery store in Haskell, Oklahoma, it carries everything from a deli to pet care items. There is no need to shop outside of Haskell if one doesn't want to since Homeland is in town. Not to be overlooked is the KwikKarry, this is a local gas station as well as a small grocery store. You can find quick items like bread, soda, and a few odds and ends when in a hurry and you can fill up on gas while you're there.

Too, Haskell has two dollar stores readily available for items you don't want to spend a lot for. Both are located on the East end of Haskell. The Family Dollar store and the General Dollar will make sure you find those items you need for a cheaper price.

If looking for flowers for your mom, girlfriend, or wife you can bet you'll find something beautiful at the Dowdy Floral Design & Gift Boutique. This flower shop resides right in the middle of Haskell off Broadway street.

If driving through Haskell and you need to top off the gas in your car, you'll have options available to you at either end of the town. The Kwik Karry is located on the west end of Haskell, coming from Bixby or Coweta, OK. The Pop Shoppe is on the East end of Haskell coming in from Muskogee or Okmulgee, OK  . Both gas stations have deli's and a selection of grocery items when you're on the go.

McCabe Farm and Auto is the place to stop in at if you're looking for auto parts as well as farming parts. Also you will find, Davids Discount Tires, and Walker Inc. All these stores are located either on the main street through Haskell (Broadway) or one street off of main street(McCabe's)

When it comes to attractions in Haskell, Oklahoma you can expect to find, the Haskell lake, Lavender Hill Farm, Three Feathers Smoke Shop, The Little Cowboy Bar, and Stone Bluff Cellars,

While Haskell, Oklahoma is small in size, it certainly isn't small on options when it comes to churches, stores, and entertainment. Also Haskell, Oklahoma is centered nicely between three cities (Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Muskogee) when the small town feel isn't enough.
