This place is a treasure chest of antiques. The antiques were displayed very methodically and orderly. The museum keepers were very informative with historical information. They were very helpful with directions and other places to see in Ponca City, OK. We are looking forward to our next day trip to see the abundance of historical sites. And pieces of history that contributed to the petroleum industry and how the native Americans played a part in the historical events.
Knowing history is a great way to appreciate what we now have and what it took to get here. The Pioneer Woman Museum shines a light on over looked heroes of the settling of this country.
It's the statue of the pioneer woman with her two sons looking out over the prairie. A Bible is clutched in one hand. It represents so much of life in Oklahoma. Hardship... challenging....and the strength to keep going forward. I would check out Marland mansion too.
Donated to the state by oil tycoon E.W. Marland in 1930. Marland was descended from pioneers to the area. He chose the statue by offering $10,000 to leading American sculptors of the time, if they produced a model of their proposed statue. The model statues of the applicants were toured in 11 cities across the country. Marland spent about $350,000 on the project in total.
