Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center to Open "The 1893 Land Race: A Legacy of Community" Exhibit



ENID, Okla. - The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center in Enid is pleased to present "The 1893 Land Race: A Legacy of Community," an exhibit running from September 4 to November 17, 2018, in the J. E. and L. E. Mabee Foundation Gallery. The exhibit focuses on early life and town-building efforts in the Cherokee Outlet just after the 1893 Land Race took place - from building houses to developing businesses.



The exhibit will feature oral histories and stories of land run participants on its text panels and through the use of audio recordings. There will be artifacts from different aspects of early life including the land race itself and filing claims, blacksmithing, furniture making, the railroad and the general store.



"The Heritage Center is excited to bring this exhibit to the northwest Oklahoma community," said Aaron Preston, archivist at the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center. "The Heritage Center is always pleased when it can show off artifacts that are not often displayed, particularly those that give a sense of scale, authenticity and perspective to what life was like just after an event that touched as many people as the 1893 Land Race."



"The 1893 Land Race: A Legacy of Community" has been made possible through the generous support of the Day Foundation. The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center is located at 507 S. Fourth St. in Enid. For more information, please call 580-237-1907 or visit www.csrhc.org.



The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center is a division of the Oklahoma Historical Society. The mission of the Oklahoma Historical Society is to collect, preserve and share the history and culture of the state of Oklahoma. Founded in 1893 by members of the Territorial Press Association, the OHS maintains museums, historic sites and affiliates across the state. Through its research archives, exhibits, educational programs and publications the OHS chronicles the rich history of Oklahoma. For more information about the OHS, please visit www.okhistory.org.

Celebrate National Public Lands Day with Free Admission and Special Events at National Parks



WASHINGTON - On September 22, join in the nation's biggest celebration of the great outdoors on National Public Lands Day! All national parks will have free admission and many will host volunteer service projects open to all.



"Every year, Americans come together on National Public Lands Day to demonstrate their love of national parks," said National Park Service Deputy Director P. Daniel Smith. "Activities hosted by parks across the nation will promote environmental stewardship and encourage the use of public lands for education, recreation, and good health."



Marking its 25th anniversary this year, National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest single-day environmental volunteer effort. More than 200,000 people are expected to participate in volunteer service events designed to improve the health of public lands and encourage shared stewardship.



Secretary of the Interior Ryan K. Zinke will celebrate the day by working alongside groups of military veterans and youth to paint several historic structures at Grand Canyon National Park. The volunteer project to restore the cabins is an example of the $11.6 billion in deferred maintenance needs in the National Park System. Secretary Zinke will also meet with national park partners and congressional representatives to discuss legislative efforts to address the maintenance backlog.



Grand Canyon is just one of 100 national parks and 2,600 federal public land sites hosting National Public Lands Day events. In other national parks, volunteers will rehabilitate campgrounds, improve trails, restore native habitats, repair bluebird boxes, clean beaches, and refurbish historic buildings, among other projects. Check NPS.gov for more information and a list of sites.



Volunteer efforts on days such as National Public Lands Day demonstrate the willingness of people to give back to the land for the benefit of parks. Volunteers assisting on work projects on National Public Lands Day will receive a voucher that can be redeemed for free entrance to any national park on a date of their choosing.



National Public Land Day celebrations also include recreational and educational activities, such as hikes, bike rides, paddle trips, bird watching excursions, and water quality testing. To encourage everyone to join the fun, it is an entrance fee-free day for national parks and most other federal public lands and state parks.



The National Environmental Education Foundation coordinates National Public Lands Day in partnership with seven federal agencies as well as nonprofit organizations and state, regional, and local governments. The federal partners are the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense, Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Forest Service.



All National Public Lands Day events are free, and open to people of all ages and abilities. To learn more, register an event, or find an event near you, visit NEEFusa.org/NPLD. Follow National Public Lands Day on Twitter and Facebook for updates and share your own activities that day with #NPLD.
