Backstage Stillwater
Backstage Stillwater is one of the most distinctive and colorful event venues in town. During the 1990s, owner Russ Teubner bought the building to house his computer software company; he later transformed the property into an artistic event space, merging historic architecture with modern art and technology. Inside, guests will find large Andy Warhol prints that depict famous historical figures from Stillwater’s past, including Annie Oakley, General Custer, Geronimo and Teddy Roosevelt. Other notable features are wooden columns from the Hard Rock Café in Dallas and colorful overhead lighting.
National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum
In the spring of 2016, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum reopened following a $3.8 million renovation. There, visitors can explore the rich history of wrestling through interactive exhibits and historic video clips of NCAA championship matches. The Hall of Honors pays tribute to some of the biggest names in wrestling, and the Paul K. Scott Museum of History showcases the largest collection of wrestling memorabilia in the world with prized items such as Olympic wrestling uniforms and portraits of every U.S. wrestling gold medalist.
