Several mature pecan trees shade the landscape, and there’s even a hill where Armstrong Academy schoolchildren once gathered. Just a short drive to Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant, approximately 2 hours to Dallas-Fort Worth and 2 hours 15 minutes to Oklahoma City!

The town of Banty once served as a small but thriving hub for area farmers and ranchers, complete with its own post office, general store, and gathering places for local families. Nearby, Armstrong Academy educated generations of Choctaw students and became one of the most influential schools in Indian Territory. Here, traces of that early community remain from the granite historical marker that commemorates Banty’s legacy to the quiet pastures that echo the rhythms of ranch life that began over a century ago. The same soil that once supported early settlers and schoolchildren now offers fertile pastures, peaceful sunsets, and endless opportunity for your next chapter.
