Dewey, home of the Tom Mix Museum and the Dewey HotelMuseum, built in 1899, is located in Green Country. Several Lakes with plenty of good fishing and skiing are within a short driving distance. Step back in time as you enter one of eight distinctive antique stores. One such store sports its own old-fashioned soda fountain offering some favorites of the past. Six other shops, each in their original store fronts, are located within two blocks of each other. In addition Dewey showcases 11 specialty shops. The first weekend of May, the Downtown area is revving with excitement as the annual Stray Kat Car Show comes to town. This show features vintage, customized street rods and a bike build off. The first weekend of June is busy with the annual Antique Show, the largest one day show in the area. Dealers from five states convene at the Dewey Fairgrounds Building. The summer festival, Sunfest, and a Fly-In are scheduled for the same weekend in the nearby community of Bartlesville. Dewey also hoss the annual July 4th celebration which includes music, children's games, free watermelon and spectacular fireworks beginning at dusk. In the fall make plans to be a part of the Tom Mix Festival, the last weekend in September. The Prairie Song Pioneer Village, located just east of Dewey, hosts a Wild West Show as a part of the festival's events. It's truly an event to remember. The Christmas Parade, usually the second Saturday of December, is a lighted parade at night. Come early as the streets are packed with onlookers. It is a very large parade with beautifully decorated and well-lit floats. Dewey is just 55 minutes north of Tulsa and 10 minutes north of Bartlesville on highway 75. Several motels, dining places and golf courses are easily accessible. Of course the days for the spring and fall city-wide garage sales produce many bargains.
