Cattlemen’s Day at the Greenwood County Historical Society in Eureka was a busy day. Visitors had the opportunity to visit with Joel and Sheryl Edmondson. Joel, a Greenwood County resident, was inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma the weekend of November 8th. Special displays to honor Joel were created by museum volunteer Carma Wilson. Other displays commemorating the 100th anniversary of Cattlemen’s Day in Greenwood County were created by Wilson and Museum Director Robin Himes. Featured artifacts included the museum’s collection of saddles, Rodeo Princesses from Greenwood County, and items from the younger generation of rodeo competitors – Cash Fuesz and Brody Harrison.
Outside the museum, visitors had the opportunity to learn about the sport of falconry with Tristan Boyer and his aplomado falcon, Freya. Keep your eyes on the sky November 26 – 30th as Boyer welcomes more falconers to the area for a Field Meet in Eureka and the Greenwood County area.
The majority of these displays will be up through Thanksgiving. Come into the museum and relive the history of cattle in Greenwood County and enjoy our other displays as well.
The museum is open 10 – 4 Monday through Friday.
