E.W. Marland built an oil empire and once controlled up to one-tenth of the world's oil reserves. The wealthy family decided to use their means to construct a mansion in Ponca City, which cost 5.5 million in 1928. Today, the estate is owned by the city and visitors can tour the historic home and grounds.
Designed and dedicated in 1930, The Pioneer woman statue stands as a monument for the women who are often forgotten in American history. You can visit the statue and the museum to take a tour of its history and significance.
Lake Ponca is a recreational paradise where you can go boating, tubing, fishing, paddle boarding, and much more! The Lake Ponca Campground allows you and your family to spend multiple days swimming and enjoying the lake. Hiking trails and Biking trails line the rim of the lake and give even more opportunity for recreation.
