The work of the many Italian craftsmen who lived on the grounds while they built this tribute to success in America is evident in every room and nook and cranny/ From formal dining areas, to eloquent bedrooms and staircases and banquet halls to detailed kitchen layout, prepare to be amazed and happily surprised. You will enjoy each moment spent here in EW's home overlooking the world renowned Pioneer Woman statue he had commissioned and given to the state of Oklahoma.

Big art, small art. I especially delight in small artful details, and am posting a few pics as examples. Just know that this place is packed with them. Almost anywhere you look, there's something interesting. The Petroleum Hall Of Fame resides on the bottom floor. I view it very differently than the two women who wandered in and commented, "A good old boys' club." They need to read Atlas Shrugged! One of the men on that wall employed my grandpa - he worked for Hughes Oil. Personally I would not be willing to make the sacrifices necessary for my picture to be on that wall, but I appreciate the way of life those guys made possible. EW Marland in particular seems to have been quite generous in funding hospitals and many other things that benefitted all Ponca City residents. Have you seen the large portrait of Lydie? Apparently the artist disliked her, so he painted a serpent in near her feet. But I can't decide if that's also the reason the angle of her leg is so wrong, or if it was just a lack of talent. Either way, I'm surprised the Marlands would hang that portrait. Maybe they never noticed.

We were warmly welcomed by Melissa who gave us a brief run down of the place. This place is a true museum with a lot of history of the town of Blackwell and its citizens. This place appears to have alot of things donated by local people who gave things that were a part of their lives or occupation. There are lots of items from numerous wars including World War one and two for sure. Lots of household items that were once used. Forgot to mention that is a hands on museum. Many items can be touched gently. Good luck on your adventure here. We hope to come back again some day when we have more time to look around. Be prepared to spend at least 2 hours here.

They got to learn some about the Native's in our area as there was historical points throughout the park, several monuments and areas to push buttons and be told background history.

What a wonderful window into a time and place so distant in one way, but so near in another. I wasn't alive when the Marlands lived here - not even close - but my great grandmother, whom I knew well, would have been a young woman in this home's heyday.
