Let’s visit this vibrant little town in northcentral Oklahoma. We’ll tour the Marland Estate, the infamous Italianate custom-built mansion that took oil man turned Oklahoma Governor E.W. Marland longer to build than occupy when he lost his fortune in the late 1920s. We’ll visit the Pioneer Woman Museum and Statue, which was commissioned by pre-broke Marland in his efforts to highlight the contributions of women to the country. We’ll tour the Conoco Oil Company Museum, an interactive multi-media facility depicting the company’s growth from hauling kerosene by mule wagons to an international energy company. Lunch location details to be announced soon.
