Immaculate Conception Church

Reviewed By pickytraveler55439 - Minneapolis, United States

Only a few blocks up the street from the Osage County Historical Museum, this is a beautiful church worth seeing for its historic stained glass windows and the beautiful sanctuary. One of our nicest surprises in Pawhuska. We were fortunate to be able to talk with Father Sean who approached us during our visit and told us a little about the history of the parish and the church. A truly nice and remarkable priest that made our visit so memorable.

Beautifully displayed history of the Osage Nation. Includes their contributions to both Oklahoma and United Stares history and interests. The beautiful memorial to Osage War heroes is worth the visit.

Tallgrass Prairie Preserve

Reviewed By sillygoose123 - Bartlesville, United States

This was a quick and great trip from Bartlesville. I saw lots of bison, birds, and the wild flowers are breathtaking. Great park to go and get away from it all. So peaceful and tranquil. I definitely will return.

The Pioneer Woman Mercantile

Reviewed By ReComX - California, United States

My wife really wanted to visit the PW Mercantile, so on her 50th birthday, we had a road trip from California and had an overnight stopover in Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Amarillo then Pawhuska. We stayed at the Frontier Hotel because the PW Boarding House was fully booked but our room was even special because it has the view of the Mercantile Store. The next day we went early to have our breakfast and was seated by the restaurant hostess (she is unpleasant). The food was good and my wife was ready to shop but she finds it a little bit disappointing because she did not meet her expectations to be wowed. While we were shopping, a nice lady, Mona, greeted us and we had a little chat and took some photos with her. Our overall experience was still great and we did enjoy our time at the Merc, the Lodge, P-town, Charlies and Pawhuska.

The Swinging Bridge

Reviewed By 777candyk

The best thing about this attraction is the location: it's just down the road from the Mercantile. We visited on a Saturday around noon, and there were only a few other people around. That is good, because I wouldn't want a lot of people on the bridge with me (it looked very sturdy, but I am a bit of a chicken). It doesn't take much time, the river is pretty and it was safe, even if I'm chicken. There is not a lot of parking space though.
