Fort Smith has a great trolley museum with a number of pieces of rail equipment, as well as a functioning tourist railroad – the Arkansas & Missouri, which might be incorporated in some fashion into the convention. A&M is the old Frisco, but there was a Little Rock-Monett Pullman car line at one time, so that might qualify as a MP historical connection.
Muskogee has the museum in the former Midand Valley-KO&G station as well as a few other historical sites nearby.
Tulsa — not sure about any real MoP connection there, always a Frisco and Santa Fe town. Might be easier to find hotel facilities in Tulsa compared to Muskogee, but the hotel pricing would no doubt be higher.
I would be happy to attend any of those locations, my preference ranking would probably be as listed above.
