OS25-112 Oklahoma's Wild West History

Oklahoma City | Available (Membership Required)

Oklahoma has a rich history with Wild West Shows, from Pawnee Bill to Tom Mix. Join us to explore the amazing history of Wild West Shows and how they helped to shape popular culture and our American heroes. Stillwater's own pioneer history plays a role in these shows, from Captain David L. Payne to Captain Couch. Topics we’ll explore are Pawnee Bill and May Lillie, 101 Ranch, Tom Mix, Lucille Mulhall and Buffalo Bill.
