Join in as we check out Shawnee, the birthplace of celebrity Brad Pitt and home to more than 30 painted pony statues. Our stops include Citizen Potawatomi Nation’s Cultural Heritage Center’s newly renovated galleries that feature tribal history from pre-contact to present day, including the Potawatomi gift shop with authentic, locally made Native American gifts. We’ll visit the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, Oklahoma’s oldest art museum. Founded in 1919, it is home to one of the nation’s largest collections of Egyptian art and artifacts. We’ll stop by the Pottawatomie County Museum with its eclectic collection of local artifacts. Another stop is the Eagle Aviary run by the Potawatomi Nation and the first of its kind to incorporate culturally significant elements into the rescue facility’s design. Lunch will be at the family owned Paul’s Place Steakhouse, where the locals eat, so you know it’ll be good. $50 for members, $60 for nonmember guests (8 a.m. approximate departure time from Stillwater)  Price includes admission fees, lunch and snacks and rideshare.
