On todays episode of the Only in OK Show, we discuss the Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum in Pawnee, Oklahoma.

The Pawnee Bill Ranch was once the showplace of the world renowned Wild West Show entertainer Gordon W. Pawnee Bill Lillie. Visitors can tour Pawnee Bill and his wife Mays fourteen room mansion, fully furnished with their original belongings. Their dream home, completed in 1910, is filled with Lillie family memorabilia, photographs, original artwork, and more. The ranch property also houses a museum with exhibits related to Pawnee Bill, Wild West Shows, and the Pawnee tribe. The 500 acre grounds include the original ranch blacksmith shop, a 1903 log cabin, a large barn built in 1926, and an Indian Flower Shrine, all available to the public.

Pawnee is northeast of Stillwater and was named for the Pawnee Tribe, which was relocated to this area between 1873 and 1875. Pawnee is home to the Pawnee people and government.
