About Pottawatomie County Free Fair

Visitor Tips
Shawnee is home to multiple tribal nations — the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center and FireLake Casinos, the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art (Oklahoma's oldest art museum), and the nearby Thunderbird Lake make Shawnee a more culturally layered destination than its size suggests.
