This was one of the many open saloons that thrived in Guthrie before prohibition came with statehood. When prohibitionist Carry Nation threatened to wield her bar-breaking hatchet against the saloon, the owner posted a sign on the door, "All nations welcome except Carry.".

In 1988, the residents of Boise City, Oklahoma, were tricked into believing they were under attack by aliens. A local radio station aired a fake news report about a UFO sighting, and many residents saw lights in the sky that they believed were alien spacecraft. The hoax became national news and has since become a part of the town's history.
