Oklahoma Historical Society to Host Oklahoma Trivia Night at The Pump Bar
OKLAHOMA CITY — History OffCenter, a project of the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS), will host Oklahoma Trivia Night on Thursday, July 18, at The Pump Bar in Oklahoma City. The Pump is located at 2425 N. Walker Ave., and the competition begins at 8 p.m.
Can you name Oklahoma’s largest county by area? Do you know the Oklahoma hometown of the man who voiced Donald Duck? Did you know that green corn is both a vegetable and a rebellion? It’s time to dust off your thinking cap and join History OffCenter for its second annual Oklahoma Trivia Night! Questions will cover topics including geography, politics, popular culture, sports and everything in between. Put a team together and make your high school Oklahoma history teacher proud. The Oklahoma Historical Society, The Pump Bar and Oklahoma’s Credit Union will be providing prizes.
Oklahoma Trivia Night is hosted by History OffCenter. History OffCenter is a series from the OHS focused on immersive, engaging experiences. With an emphasis on community outreach, this series features programs that are in-depth explorations of neighborhoods, the inner workings of the OHS and historical eras. The goal is not only to share our history at the Oklahoma History Center (home of the OHS), but also to reach out to our community and attract new members to the OHS.
The mission of the Oklahoma Historical Society is to collect, preserve and share the history and culture of the state of Oklahoma and its people. Founded in 1893 by members of the Territorial Press Association, the OHS maintains museums, historic sites and affiliates across the state. Through its research archives, exhibits, educational programs and publications the OHS chronicles the rich history of Oklahoma. For more information about the OHS, please visit www.okhistory.org.
