On the Midway
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a fair in the rolling tallgrass prairie and blackjack oak country of the Osage Hills — one of the last great remnants of the North American tallgrass prairie ecosystem.
What to Know
The Osage County Free Fair, based in Pawhuska, is an August fair in the Osage Nation country of northeast Oklahoma, celebrating the cattle ranching and oil heritage of the largest county in Oklahoma — the Osage Reservation, which became fabulously wealthy in the 1920s oil boom and is today the setting for David Grann's "Killers of the Flower Moon."
Before You Go
Pawhuska is the Osage Nation capital — the Osage Nation Museum, the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church (built in Osage architectural style), the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve (the largest protected tallgrass prairie in the world at 39,650 acres), and the Pioneer Woman Mercantile and Lodge make Pawhuska a genuinely unmissable Oklahoma destination.
