Every spring the museum hosts an international juried art show featuring artwork in a variety of media. Additional art exhibits during the year usually feature area artists. Programs and classes of interest to the community are offered periodically. Recent programs included such varied topics as cowboy poetry, the history of the great western trail, and the butterflies of the rolling plains.

The Red River Valley Museum is not a typical small-town museum with static exhibits but a museum dedicated to pleasing the return visitor. Current plans involve the construction of an addition to the museum to house the Great Western Trail Heritage Center. The new area will feature an interactive scaled replica of Doans Crossing, the halfway point on the Great Western Trail. Located near Vernon, Doans was the last supply point for trail drives headed into Indian Territory. Donations to help the museum make the Western Trail Heritage Center a reality are appreciated.
