For International Women's Day, we're highlighting the life and achievements of one the many amazing women of Osage County. Mabelle Kennedy’s family first came to Oklahoma from Missouri in a covered wagon in 1891. After the trip – which she later described as one long picnic – her family settled in Ralston near the Osage County line. She married Edmund Kennedy in 1908, and the couple moved to Pawhuska in 1909, where they bought a controlling interest in the National Bank of Commerce.

When Edmund passed away in 1936, Mabelle studied banking and ranch management, becoming a successful business leader. She went on to serve as the mayor of Pawhuska, later as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.

Mabelle and Edmund’s Pawhuska home was later transformed into an elegant hostelry named in her honor which still welcomes guests to this day. When you're headed our way, experience a little bit of this history for yourself with stay at The Mabelle Bed & Bath.

On March 6th, 1905, James Robert Wills was born in the tiny rural town of Kosse, Texas. During the 1930s and 40s he played a huge part in the development of American music as the “King of Western Swing,” Bob Wills. As they toured the country playing to audiences of thousands, Wills and his band the Texas Playboys would often make stops at the historic Whiting Hall in Pawhuska. These days the city is home to the annual Pawhuska Western Swing Festival, which brings the sounds of this classic genre back to life each November.

This Ash Wednesday, plan your visit to the beautiful and historic Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Pawhuska – also called the Cathedral of the Osage – to find a shrine dedicated to the first Native American ever canonized as a saint. Kateri Tekakwitha, also known as "Lily of the Mohawks," was born in 1656 to a Mohawk warrior and a Catholic Algonquin woman.

Kateri spent several years of her brief life caring for the injured and sick in a Christian community in Canada. She was declared Blessed Kateri by Pope John Paul II in 1980 and canonized in 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI. An outdoor wooden chapel housing her shrine sits near the 8-foot bronze statue of her on the grounds of the church, and the chapel is open dawn to dusk.

Take advantage of this beautiful weather with a visit to the Healing Rock at Skiatook Lake. Once believed to have healing powers by local members of the Osage and Quapaw tribes, the rock's original environs were set to be submerged by the creation of the lake, and so it was moved to its present location by the Corps of Engineers in 1984. Today, visitors to Skiatook Lake can reach the Healing Rock after a short hike of about 1/8-mile from the project office. You can find a map and more info at https://bit.ly/GCHealingRock
