Experience Guthrie's Historic Charm this Holiday Season!
Join us this December for a guided walking tour of Guthrie's historic downtown - a celebration of its remarkable architecture and festive holiday spirit. Beginning at the iconic State Capitol Publishing Museum, we'll stroll through charming streets lined with beautifully preserved Victorian-era buildings, each adorned with seasonal decor that brings history to life.
Our guide, Ronald H. Frantz, Jr., FAIA, will share captivating stories about Guthrie's founding, its days as the Territorial Capitol, and the enduring architectural styles that continue to define its unique character.
Following the tour you're welcome to relax and enjoy locally crafted spirits and holiday-inspired beverages at the WanderFolk Spirits - the perfect way to toast the season after a walk through history. (Cost of beverages not included.)
