In Pawhuska this morning, meet your local guide and roam the Osage Hills around Pawhuska, Oklahoma.  Enjoy the tallgrass prairie and much more! Your guide will retell history of the 1920’s oil boom, when the Osage Nation were the richest people in America.  Hear stories of riches, historical buildings, famous cowboys, and learn of the Native Osage Culture.  Discover why this little town has such big history!

This afternoon you visit the Pioneer Woman Mercantile, owned by Food Network TV show host Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman, this shop is a must-see destination. The Pioneer Woman Mercantile began in 1910 as Osage Mercantile and was a place for trading goods and browsing. Ree and family wanted to honor The Merc’s legacy by creating a shopping experience that hints to an earlier time in small town America. It takes time to see it all, so stop in and stay awhile!

Come explore the glorious cabinets, browse the abundant shelves, and peek in all the drawers! Shopping at The Merc is a treasure hunt, with surprises everywhere you turn.
