    You have to come to the Forest Heritage Center when they have the Folk Festival Arts & Crafts Show…read more It is really one of the better festivals that I have ever attended. I have been coming to Beaver's Bend State Park and to the Forest Heritage Center since I was a child and I noticed that Spike S.'s review discussed the wonderful history and description of the museum so I won't go there. The Folk Festival is going on this weekend and my sister, husband and I went yesterday which was a Friday. I have always gone on Saturday or Sunday in the past but here is a pro-tip. Go on the first day and get there when they open at 9am. The parking is less crowded. When you get to the Forest Heritage Center follow the signs with arrows to the parking area. You will then be directed to a space to park and then you can hop on one of the adorable trams pulled by a tractor or you can hitch a ride in one of the state park vans if you prefer a little more climate control. They will drop you off at the festival and they are constantly picking up folks leaving the festival so you never have to wait. We shopped and observed local artisans preparing their wares. There were people dressed in period costumes throughout. Women were spinning yarn, a man was making wood carvings, and a group was performing traditional folk music on dulcimers and mandolins. There were also Choctaw tribe members making beaded jewelry and demonstrating the game of stickball. The Forest Heritage Center is known for it's support of woodturning artists; so there were many of the woodturners there with the most gorgeous bowls and other turned wood items on display. I believe next year I will buy one of the bowls. Soooooo beautiful. The nearby Oklahoma Historical Society from Fort Towson was there and had numerous prints of old Oklahoma Maps and other historical Oklahoma themed posters for $5 each! Those posters would have made excellent framed art for some of the local cabins or for someone's home. Mountain Fork Brewery had a booth and I bought a nice bottle of the local Stout called Pappy's Buck Snort (love the name and the bottle is gorgeous). I also picked up some delicious Jalapeno Cheddar sourdough bread and a jumbo chocolate sourdough cookie. I also picked up some honey soaked pecans and honey jar containing a honeycomb from Roark Acres and salsa verde from Sixth Day Snacks....as you can see it is all about the food and beverages for me. I hope that you will consider visiting this awesome museum and especially coming to the folk festival in early November. I highly recommend!

    Reviewed May 7, 2019 Learn about the logging industry!…read moreThe logging Industry played and still plays an important role in Oklahoma! This museum takes you back to the early days of logging, and progresses to today's industry and the products we depend upon. The museum is laid out in an indoor loop that you walk through to see the displays. It has displays of tools, folk art carvings, informative natural history displays and a great display of historical photos. Note: This review and pictures were originally posted on Tripadvisor by Spike S.

    Can't go to Broken Bow without stopping in here for delicious wine and free tastings. They have a…read morelot of great options for whatever you like. They have an upstairs outdoor bar and patio as well. There's a large gift shop with great items. Very happy we stopped in here. We went when they first opened and thankfully so because it gets really busy. The service was quick and informative on all their offerings.

    This is a precious little gift shop/winery in broken bow, and is 100% catered towards girls…read moreweekends and bachelorette trips. It's cute and fun, but I personally wasn't a fan of the wine. We quickly learned that there's no wineries in Broken Bow and all of the local 'wineries' make their wine from concentrate often brought in from California. Which is okay, and the prices reflects the quality, we're just not the biggest fans of the wine. The wine tasting itself was so rushed! There's no stools at the bar and it seemed like a very "out of place" experience. However, it's free and you're able to try a good bit of different wines. Their wine slushes are DELICIOUS! You can add a wine floater and in my first one, I added a floater of a dry white and it was refreshing and exciting. I noticed the frozen slushes in to-go bags by the exit and I think it would be so perfect for a hot summer day or floating the river! We grabbed three to enjoy at home! Overall - if you like sweet/simple wine, this place is probably for you... Go with low expectations if you're a wine snob, but definitely go!
