What is a stereotype?

Stereotypes are labels constructed by humans.
We create stereotypes as an information shortcut in a complex world.

Stereotypes shape what we see, how we act, and how we respond to others. They persist because people reproduce them every day and resist change because often times, we aren’t conscious of them.

The Sorting Out Race Exhibit arose from a desire to divert items with racial content from thrift stores to an exhibit that would foster a healthy community conversation about racial stereotypes, past and present, to heighten awareness of our ongoing struggles with race.

This exhibit asks whether these items are harmless reminders of past attitudes or perpetuate stereotypes.

This powerfully thought provoking exhibit is open NOW until October 30th in the Mabee Gallery at the Heritage Center!

Why not come check it out this afternoon?

Anyone else in the mood for a late night snack? 🍪🍪🍪😄

This top photo was taken in 1951 of the National Biscuit Company, better known now as Nabisco. This location was in Oklahoma City on the Santa Fe Railway - which came through the Cherokee Outlet.

One of their stops was the Harvey House in Waynoka. Nabisco is known for snacks such as Oreo Cookies, Chips Ahoy, Ritz Crackers, and Graham Crackers!

What's your absolute favorite snack food?😊

Every day, thrift stores receive items with racial imagery—antique advertising cards, collectible salt-and-pepper shakers, vintage children’s books and mugs with sports team mascots. This exhibit asks whether these items are harmless reminders of past attitudes or perpetuate stereotypes about race.

The Sorting Out Race Exhibit arose from a desire to divert items with racial content from thrift stores to an exhibit that would foster a healthy community conversation about racial stereotypes, past and present, to heighten awareness of our ongoing struggles with race.

The Kauffman Museum at Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas, created this traveling exhibit using items found at thrift shops in Kansas between 2010 and 2015.

The exhibit will open on September 3rd! It is located in the J.E. & L.E. Mabee Gallery at the Heritage Center! Make plans to come check it out this week!

Did you know chicken eggs can vary in shell color? 🐣

Chicken egg color is determined by the hen’s breed and genetics, which dictate the types of pigments deposited onto the egg as it forms!🥚

Did you know that Enid was one of the Poultry Centers of the United States from the 1910s to the 40s, and that the poultry industry was predominantly ran by women at that time?

Lots of folks in northwestern Oklahoma still raise chickens for personal use, and have to collect eggs from the coop regularly!

At Family Farm Day 2026 , there will be a fun egg collecting relay/obstacle course ran by the awesome students from Cherokee FCCLA for guests to participate in! 😄

This is just ONE of the many hands-on activities that will be available to visitors! Doesn’t that sound EGG-citing? 🤩🤣

DaZe in a MaZe will also be joining us with actual poultry from their petting farm! 🐣😊

See you in the Village on October 3rd! 👀🥳

Corn is something that is widely used in many cultures, and in many different capacities! 🌽

It’s a grain that is incredibly versatile, and at Family Farm Day 2026, you’ll get to see some of the ways that it is utilized in different cultures!

We’ve partnered up with the Garfield County Hispanic Coalition and Chisholm Trail Milling for some really special hands-on demonstrations that celebrate both corn and culture!

Be sure to join us on October 3rd from 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. for a full day of agriCULTURAL fun! 🥳
