But the Dewey Hotel is everybody know, it's the central icon 69 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:15.079 of history in our area, even Bartlesville. Jake Bartles built the hotel and 70 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.000 eighteen ninety eight, and you know, the Battle of Manila, the Spanish 71 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:26.759 American War was being fought during eighteen ninety eight and Admiral Dewey was the victor 72 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.240 of Manila. And Jake Bartles was a big patriot, a true patriot. 73 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.839 He was a union Man in the Civil War. And when that victory took 74 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.759 place, he was just he and Nanny Bartles were overcome with joy. So 75 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.319 he named his new town after Admiral Dewey. And you know, you just 76 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.759 don't name towns anymore after American heroes. We do even have new towns starting 77 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.319 well, you know, it was just amazing it might start a war. 78 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:59.839 Did Yeah, But I think that you build a three story story hotel that 79 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.240 was in the prairie, there was no other structures. It is amazing to 80 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:11.279 me to think that that's how that town started. It's the only Victorian structure 81 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.319 of its kind in Oklahoma. And they were going to tear it down in 82 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:20.720 the mid sixties, and the citizens of Dewey petitioned the Washington County Historical Society 83 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.920 to help save it, and they did so. About nineteen sixty six. 84 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.759 I was about to go off to college, and I remember when it became 85 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.040 a museum and Tommy's Museum it just opened right across the street, that's right, 86 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:38.000 And so suddenly Dewey had two of our best museums. Now we have 87 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:43.120 some world class museums here now, the Phillips even though it's closed, the 88 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.959 Phillips Museum, the Petroleum Museum. That's you know. We see a lot 89 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.439 of people who come through our hotel as tour guides and they're on their way 90 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:55.920 to Pahusca, you know, and and different places that are now nationally known, 91 00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.319 and that they see that Dewey and Bartlesville have all these museums and including 92 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.759 our Local History Museum. Well, the other thing that we have there and 93 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:09.879 doing is Prairie Song isn't beautiful. We just lost its creators. We lost 94 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:16.879 right, And I just really hope that that someone in the family or maybe 95 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:24.519 some other organization takes it over and really MAXI shine, because that would be 96 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:31.800 a excellent tourism place if it just would open up and you know, more 97 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.920 public could go and see it. Lurish. Yeah, well, and it 98 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.519 was amazing. There A lot of movie companies have their eye on it. 99 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.079 I know a couple of do you know. I told a friend I lived 100 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.480 down in Austin, Texas when the big movie boom took off, and I 101 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:53.199 remember the headline was thirty three movies were made in Central Texas, and it's 102 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.319 like, you know, do you how that's nothing now for Texas. I 103 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.519 mean, there's hundreds of movies. And I always thought, well, Oklahoma 104 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.279 should be We have the same climate, the same people, the same towns, 105 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.759 the same everything, so why shouldn't we benefit. Well, it's finally 106 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.800 come to Oklahoma. You know. The Red River is no longer a boundary 107 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.120 for any of that. Our legist legislature a few years ago invited Hollywood to 108 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.160 come in and spend their money, and they they they've made major films there 109 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.160 as we all know, and there's more coming. Oh, we've got to 110 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.920 make one up at the hotel now. Now, well we've been growing up 111 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:37.320 there. What's the name of that ron It was Mike all the Dirty Jobs 112 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.000 Man. Yeah, well yeah, yeah, yeah, he's been. He 113 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.879 was really impressed. Yeah. Well, Killers of the Flower Moon wanted to 114 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.440 film at the hotel. I was gonna ask about that. Well they did, 115 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.240 and then COVID hit and then that the budget went down. I mean 116 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.240 they had to put it off for a year. But in the meantime, 117 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.480 the old Stage Nation said, but we told you all along, only would 118 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.960 that we want everything done where it happened. And they said, well, 119 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.879 and they said that includes Dewey Oklama. Oh. Well. The Sacy people 120 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.960 said, because we were waiting on them, they wanted to film there. 121 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.200 And they they explained to the old says, they said, you know, 122 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.559 we just don't have to build sets, that's all, We're just using the 123 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.000 interior that beautiful old hotel. And they said noo, noo, noop. 124 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.559 And so we didn't get to have any I didn't get to meet Robert de 125 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:33.320 narrow, but he's got good cigars. Well, it takes Leo Dicorpio. 126 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.799 Well, he hung out in Bartlesville. He did, he did. And 127 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.080 one of the things I want to remark about though, is I believe Ken 128 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.639 and Maryland tagged and came up with the name for the hotel, the Grand 129 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.960 Old Lady of the Prairie. That is so fit fitting when you think about 130 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.639 the background history of the hotel, and it is. Yeah. Well, 131 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.120 you know, mister bartles arranged for the local for the railroad to come through 132 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.399 here and the stage line. You could get on a train in Kansas City 133 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.279 and go to Lawrence, Kansas. From Lawrence to Coffeeville and a Coffeeville you 134 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.240 can catch a stage coach to Dewey and when you got off the stage coach 135 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.759 there's this new England Victorian hotel that's out in the middle of nowhere. And 136 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.519 he got the deals. And then later in nineteen twenty five, Phillips comes 137 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.039 along and he does the same thing. He takes people out to Wooller Rock 138 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.960 and woos them for the oil deals and he gets it. These were man 139 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.200 of vision and our community still is based on that vision. We're still visionary. 140 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.919 Look at running many towns like Bartles. Look at Runny. What Jag 141 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:50.600 and Nanny's son did. Joe, Yes, he created the duty around a 142 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.399 rodeo. Yeah, that was big for decades. It was big. They 143 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.639 started. It was nationally No. Eight. That was like the third largest 144 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.000 rodeo in the United States North America. Yeah. But man, there's pictures 145 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.759 up there that show the grounds of it. But they also have pictures of 146 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.679 the people that were there and the crowd. They say that they had had 147 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:22.200 a crowd of like three to forty thousand. And after seeing that photo, 148 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.080 it really does I mean, it tells you they and how those people got 149 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.480 around. I mean, you know, we think about it. I don't 150 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.440 walking here in the Yeah, yeah, here in the middle you know of 151 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:39.399 Oklahoma, and here they are coming from all over. Well, even back 152 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.600 in that stage they camped in. There were forty thousand people to see three 153 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.399 rodeos. Yeah, over a three day Fourth of July. It all out 154 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.559 ended tom In nineteen forty nine, they had a big stadium. It was 155 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.960 where the Dewey High School field is. It was where the rodeographies were. 156 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:05.440 But in nineteen forty nine, this biblical rain storm hit the area and it 157 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.799 loosened the pilings that hold up the stadium, and apparently someone a clown. 158 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.720 Rumor says a clown shot off a gun, and a comedy act and others 159 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.279 saved kids through the firecrackers. But they had these horses tied to those pilings, 160 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.039 and when they bolted, it started a shimmy and effect in that mud, 161 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:28.320 and the stadium collapsed on about fifteen thousand people. Oh and nobody died. 162 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.440 What a miracle. Yeah, sounds like the story of my grandpa and 163 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.840 his mercantile store. At the corner of the store was a post and it 164 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:45.519 had a sign that said, don't hitch hit your horse here. Well, 165 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.519 yeah, well, I was given a tour one day at the at the 166 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:54.000 hotel and an old man in his nineties. He says I was there that 167 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.559 day and that they collapsed, but he was I said, really, sir, 168 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.759 He goes yeah. He said he was under the stands picking up pop 169 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.759 bottles and he'd just come up and sit on the front row. When when 170 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.200 when that happened, he says, I just took off And I said, 171 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.720 well, you're sure, I said. The rumor is that it's firecrackers or 172 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.559 a clown act that started back, and I said, which was it? 173 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:16.639 You were there? He goes, I don't know, Hell, I took 174 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.559 off. You just had the bottles and try to get some lunch with him 175 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:28.519 made. But historically, historically that was a lot going on for the new 176 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.000 area and all of that. We celebrate those times now with the heritage days. 177 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.159 We're just coming up. Yeah. October the fourteen, they had those 178 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.600 law horns that come up. Man, that's one that's gonna be so cool. 179 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.279 It was right in front of the hotel and then the hotel. They 180 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.159 also have that guy that's on horse on top of a trailer that they're pulling. 181 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.840 Johnny's one armed bed. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna haveredible How he's 182 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:03.159 able to get that horse to turn around? Is that amazing? Yeah? 183 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.039 I said, John, Now, how do you get that horse up on 184 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.080 the trailer? He goes, Oh, that's nothing, he said, getting 185 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:13.159 them to stay on the different story, well, even all of that, 186 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:20.600 Stico's still associated with the original. The original rodeo started as a Wild West 187 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.799 show. Mister Bardell's was dying of a disease and he wanted to see his 188 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.360 old buddies from the Union in Civil War, and they brought all those old 189 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.399 kinds as buddies down and put him in the hotel and the local cowboys and 190 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.279 ranchers put on a wild West show, and it was so much fun. 191 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.240 They did it again the next year and the next year, and they said, 192 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.840 well, heck, let's just name it the Dewey Round Up Rodeo. 193 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.720 And it lasted until nineteen forty nine, and after it collapsed, nobody died. 194 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.879 They never rebuilt. And but Dewey has other history. They had an 195 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.879 airplane factory there back in World War One that Franklin Delano Roosevelt had to tell 196 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.879 the right brothers, will you stop at, you know, hassling these these 197 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.639 factories. They said they wanted money. It was they had invented the airplane, 198 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.039 and they said, you'd invented it, they're not using your design. 199 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.159 We need these planes for the war. And so little Dewey was a part 200 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.720 of that history. That's all there. It's a wonderful little town. Well 201 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:24.720 then then old Don Tyler comes into the picture and build the seamen's lane. 202 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:31.000 Yeah yeah, and my lands, I mean they they had a whole lot 203 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.960 very Portland and uh men. But there again at the hotel, what it 204 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:43.519 is so neat had no idea that they used to pack cement in cloth bags. 205 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.000 Yeah, and they didn't have the paper ones until a lot later. 206 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:54.440 But it was incredible because we have a suit that somebody had made for him 207 00:15:54.480 --> 00:16:00.080 out of those sacks. That's on exhibit up there. Oh yeah, in 208 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:06.120 all the donations speaking of exhibits, a hotel and Dewey. When it closed, 209 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:07.759 it didn't have any of the original things, not a whole lot. 210 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.639 All the donations now come from. It has to be pre Indian I mean 211 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:19.639 pre statehood Indian Territory, and we've gotten Victorian furniture. And it was the 212 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:26.840 first structure in Indian Territory to receive electricity of it and mister Bardell's didn't totally 213 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:29.960 trust it, so he kept gas in half of it. Yeah, them 214 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:37.480 water waterline where they had had the kitchen, had water in in the saint 215 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.200 you know where they could do it. Yes, everything, and he just 216 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:48.120 it represents such a modern time for Indian Territory. Now, this was all 217 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.639 white encroachment country around here. You had to marry into the Indian Nations if 218 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.679 you wanted if you were a white person, you wanted land. And mister 219 00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:02.000 Barteles did that his wife was Nanny Bartle's and she was the daughter of a 220 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.759 chief journey cake of the Delaware Nation. And he was a preacher, and 221 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.799 she became a big follower. She built the first Baptist church and do it's 222 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:14.640 still there. Yeah. Anyway, this educated wealthy lady. This was her 223 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.720 land, her land alotment that the hotel was built on. And women were 224 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.200 not allowed to own a business until the eighteen seventies h And when they got 225 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.720 married the Bartle she was ready to be an entrepreneur. And when statehood arrived 226 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:33.519 from being Indian territory, the Bartles were some of the richest families of the 227 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.599 new state. Home. You know what's amazing about that church is it has 228 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.960 a stained glass window of her Nanny. Yes, it does on display right 229 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.640 now, and apparently it's supposed to be donated back to the hotel.
