Crossroads: Change in Rural America

Crossroads: Change in Rural America

The Oklahoma Historical Society, in cooperation with Oklahoma Humanities, is pleased to announce that the Smithsonian Institution Museum on Main Street traveling exhibition “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” is coming to Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum March 26–May 7, 2022. Americans come together at the crossroads. They invest in places and build their futures where their paths cross. Small towns became centers of commerce, trade, local politics, and culture. For some, the crossroads affirmed a new life in a new place. For others, the crossroads meant hard work and hard times. Oklahomans will have a unique opportunity to consider their crossroads stories through the exhibit’s themes of rural identity, community, land, perseverance and managing change. Each site will engage visitors in complementary programming, celebrating their town’s history and accomplishments and addressing community concerns. “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and state Humanities Councils nationwide. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the US Congress. This exhibit will visit six communities in Oklahoma on its tour of the state. For more information about this exhibit and Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum, please call 918-762-2513 or email pawneebill@okhistory.org. Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum is located at 1141 Pawnee Bill Road in Pawnee. “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” has been made possible in Pawnee by Oklahoma Humanities.
