Lived in Oklahoma all my life. Had not been to this historic ranch before. The drive intdo the ranch was very nice. Beautiful old ranch house with guided tours available. Museum and gift shop. Museum was in formative and well done. Pawnee Bill was about as Big in life as Buffalo Bill. Pawnee Bill's Wild West Shop was rivaled only by Buffalo Bill's Wild west Shop and in fact Buffalo Bill made appearances with Pawnee Bill and Visa versa. There are several neat old buildings (houses) and an incredible huge barn on the property as well. The walking tour is nice. You can also drive around on the ranch and photograph live Bison, Longhorns and beautiful matched Clydesdale horses. I got some great pictures while there. It's free to enter the museum. You will enjoy this Once...

Neat historic place to visit if you are in the area. There are a couple of buildings that you can go inside (blacksmith shop, barn...). There's a small lot cabin type house there that was in renovation when we went. There's a small museum that had a children's area & a gift shop. There's a pavilion you can rent for events. There's a pond with picnic tables around it. You can drive though part of the pasture and see buffalo, cows & horses up close. There's a neat stone lookout tower you can go on to, it's about one story tall. (pictured below is part of the children's area and the stairs in the stone tower. Sorry I don't have better...
