Today’s featured event:
See all the artwork, artifacts and other offerings at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for free today and every Wednesday through Nov. 19.
The Oklahoma Ford Dealers are hosting Wide-Open Wednesdays at the museum concluding Nov. 19. Free public admission will be offered on Wednesdays during the program.
“Your Oklahoma Ford Dealers would like to invite everyone to spend their Wednesday’s this fall celebrating the best of the old West and it won’t cost a thing,” said Kyle McQuaid, spokesman for Ford, a news release. ”The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum is a national treasure of American history right here in Oklahoma, and we are pleased to partner with the Museum to make this attraction available to more people across the state.”
McQuaid added, “This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of this Museum and learn about the legacies that have shaped the way we live today, including special exhibits like … “Craft in America: Expanding Traditions” opening Oct. 11 and “American Indian Mural Painting in Oklahoma and the Southwest,” opening Oct. 24.”
“It is always a challenge to entice citizens from any community to take advantage of the attractions in their own locale,” said Chuck Schroeder, executive director, in the release. ”but we know that once they discover the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, they return with family and friends.”
Schroeder added, “This is the sixth consecutive year that Ford has advertised this promotion in support of our heritage and culture. We think the Oklahoma Ford Dealers really are the ‘Best in Oklahoma.’”
Additional educational programs and activities are planned in conjunction with several of the exhibitions. For a complete schedule or more information about the museum, go to www.nationalcowboymuseum.org or call 478-2250.
While admission is free on Wide-Open Wednesdays, groups of 10 or more are encouraged to make advance reservations to help facilitate their visit.
