Harvest Fest at the Chickasaw White House

Come and enjoy the festivities as we celebrate Governor Johnston's Birthday at the Annual Chickasaw White House Harvest Fest! Festivities include White House tours, live music, carriage rides, make-and-take crafts, children’s activities, gunfight reenactments and more. 

This free event offers attendees a chance to step back into the early 1900s with food and activities representing the life of Chickasaw Nation Governor Douglas H. Johnston, who was the first Chickasaw Governor to be appointed by the President of the United States in 1906. Governor Douglas H. Johnston and his family occupied the White House from 1898-1971. In the 1990's the Chickasaw Nation restored the White House to its original grandeur. It is on the National Registry of Historic Places.
