Season 7, Episode 8: Rt. 66 goes west at OKC's National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum

from The Oklahoma Today Podcast · host Oklahoma Today magazine

It's a great time to visit the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City! On this week's episode of the Oklahoma Today Show we caught up with David Davis, chief curatorial officer at the museum, to hear about their new exhibition Route 66: From Trails to Truck Stops, on display now through May 3. This beloved hub of culture and history actually sits on Route 66 itself, and a good amount of the Western story is tied up with the Mother Road. In addition to the Route 66 exhibit, guests can also stop in to see The Cowboy: An Immersive Journey, a 360 treat for the senses developed by the team responsible for the Immersive Van Gogh experiences.  Also on this week's episode, the editors discuss some of their favorite places in Oklahoma to get a steak (there are a lot to choose from) and podvents keeps the coals burning with a cool Dutch oven event. You won't want to miss it!
