New this Summer!  The Pawnee/Arikara earth lodge  

Take a short walk to our NEW Pawnee/Arikara earth lodge!  Twenty four Pawnee and Arikara tribal members from Oklahoma, North Dakota, and beyond, came together to create the largest traditionally-built earth lodge in North America at the Archway.   Built in 13 days, the earth lodge was completed in early June of this year.

Celebrate the Harvest Season with Us!

oct - Nov

Beautiflly decorated for fall, inside and out, the Archway celebrates our state's heritage of harvesting on the prairie.  From rare Pawnee corn, Spotted Like A Horse beans, and squash, to pioneer canning and shocks of stalks, a glimpse of the harvest season on the plains in the mid 1800's will be visible at the Archway this fall!

A special Harvesting the Plains program for schools can also be reserved this fall.
