Pawhuska, Oklahoma
This small town is a place with deep-rooted history, some of which you can see at first glance.
Many of the buildings downtown are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the town is the headquarters of the Osage Nation, a Native American tribe of the Great Plains.
You’ll want to explore the tribally-owned Osage Nation Museum and natural wonders like the Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, the largest protected tallgrass prairie on our continent.
Don’t forget to stop and check out The Pioneer Woman Mercantile when you’re in town.
How did you forget Natchitoches La, the oldest city in the Louisiana Purchase, and a true gem?
