Cowboy Stuff Is Actually Awesome? - Oklahoma City’s Wild West Surprise on Route 66
We came to Oklahoma City looking for Route 66 exhibits… and accidentally discovered one of the coolest museums on the entire Mother Road.
In this Randomland adventure we visit the legendary National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum expecting a quick stop connected to Route 66’s 100th anniversary - only to discover the museum has massively expanded into an enormous immersive Wild West experience packed with gigantic western art, recreated frontier streets, old saloons, Native American structures, cowboy history, movie props, classic Americana and entire indoor towns you can actually walk through.
We explore Prosperity Junction - a full turn-of-the-century prairie town hidden INSIDE the museum - along with Liichokoshkomo’, the massive outdoor Native American cultural area featuring recreated tribal dwellings and interactive exhibits that completely changed the way we looked at “cowboy stuff.”
Somehow this place turns out to be funny, weird, fascinating and genuinely AMAZING - far beyond anything we expected.
Ironically, the special Route 66 exhibit we originally came to see has already disappeared by the time we arrive… but we honestly stop caring once we realize how insane the museum itself has become.
And then we discover something even bigger: a gigantic new Route 66 addition is about to arrive in Oklahoma City.
We visit the site just before installation begins… because the giant Route 66 boot is coming.
