National Day of the Cowboy Celebration

Celebrate National Day of the Cowboy at the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center in Duncan, Oklahoma, as they continue the tradition for the 15th year. 

Since the first celebration in 2010, this local event has grown, attracting many visitors, many from out of the area. This event is made possible by generous funding from the Oklahoma Arts Council. Rope a Longhorn, ride a buckin' bronc, and create your brand! Beat the heat in our 4d Experience Theater, where you can watch the cattle stampede, cool off during a summer thunderstorm on the Oklahoma prairie, and learn about life as a cowboy or cowgirl. Eavesdrop on Jesse Chisholm and Tex in our Campfire Theater as they tell their story about the Trail that became known as the Chisholm Trail. Venture back in time while viewing the Quanah Parker – One Man Two Worlds exhibit.

Guests can also explore the John Cook, Blue Moon Moasics, featured artist exhibit in our Garis Gallery of the West.
