The Hominy Heritage Association is seeking the public’s help regarding vandalism across the street from the Marland Station. A sign belonging to an association member was found damaged Sunday morning, with its supporting metal posts bent flat to the ground. The damage likely occurred after Saturday night’s Indigenous Day cleanup.

While it seems like a minor issue, signs like this can be expensive to replace and vandalism creates an unnecessary financial burden on our hardworking members and takes resources away from our mission of preserving Hominy’s history and heritage.

If you witnessed anything or have information, please contact the Hominy Police Department.

Please help us protect Hominy’s historic sites and community property. Our heritage belongs to all of us!

FIELD PRINTING MUSEUM PLANS HISTORIC “DOUBLE HEADER” FOR HOMINY INDIGENOUS HERITAGE DAY

Visitors Can Print Their Own Free, Numbered Copies of the Declaration of Independence Friday and the Osage Nation Constitution Preamble Saturday, October 10

HOMINY, OKLAHOMA — The Field Historical Printing Museum will present a two-day historic printing “Double Header” Friday and Saturday as part of the 4th Annual Hominy Indigenous Heritage Day, giving visitors an opportunity to operate a 120-year-old printing press and take home their own free, numbered piece of history.

And America’s 250th anniversary celebration isn’t over yet.
On Friday, October 9, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Museum will repeat its popular July 4th printing program with a second series of reproductions of the Mary Katherine Goddard series.

Visitors will be able to personally print an 8½-by-11-inch, frameable and individually numbered copy of the historic Declaration on the Museum’s 1906 Chandler & Price letterpress. There is no charge to participate.

The Mary Katherine Goddard broadside holds a special place in American history. Printed in Baltimore in 1777, it was the first printed version of the Declaration of Independence to include the names of the signers, publicly identifying the men who had pledged themselves to American independence. She is the only woman whose name appears on the Declaration.

Then, on Saturday, October 10, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the 4th Annual Hominy Indigenous Heritage Day, the same 1906 Chandler & Price press will turn from one historic statement of self-government to another.

Visitors will be invited to print their own free, individually numbered copy of the official Preamble to the Constitution of the Osage Nation, recognizing the 20th anniversary of the modern Osage Constitution and the continuing importance of Osage self-government. The document will be 8-1/2’ x 11” and frameable.
Like Friday’s Declaration program, Saturday’s event will be hands-on. Museum volunteers will assist visitors as they use the historic press to produce a keepsake they can take home, frame and preserve. A bonus to the next generation.

The two programs bring together two important documents from different periods of American history — the Declaration of Independence and the Osage Nation Constitution — while demonstrating the historic printing technology that helped spread important ideas to the public.
