Visit Oklahoma on an Escorted Tour – Discover The Sooner State

Oklahoma’s original settlers evidently knew fine, fertile land when they saw it, and forewarned of the coming government ‘Land Run’ of 1889, they hid out on the land they wanted, so that they would be first to stake a claim. That earned them the tag ‘Sooners’, and the soon-to-be  State of Oklahoma adopted the name increasingly over the years. The name  ‘Oklahoma’ is a combination of Choctaw American Indian words meaning ‘red people’ – significant, in that the state is home to no fewer than 39 Native American nations today. Proud peoples who hail from all over the North American continent. Chisholm Trail traverses the state on its way from Fort Worth, TX up to Dodge City, KS, and Oklahoma City’s Stockyards are home to the largest regular working cattle auction in North America – a ‘must visit’ and on our escorted tour itineraries.
