Day One - Friday
Afternoon - Make your first Muskogee stop your check-in at Graham Carroll Bed & Breakfast. Built in 1935 within the town’s historic Founder’s Place district, the luxurious, elegant and comfortable setting is only blocks from Muskogee’s downtown area and fine restaurants.
Evening - Make your way to the nearby Muskogee Little Theater for a talent-filled stage show or kick back in front of the big screen at one of two local cinemas. Paint the town red with a night on the dance floor and live music at local nightclub, Max’s Garage, or retire to the Graham Carroll House's eight-person hot tub with aromatherapy for a soothing gabfest beneath the bubbles.
Day Two - Saturday
Morning - Hit the ground running on Saturday morning at the farmers market in Okie Square, which features Oklahoma products exclusively. Your delightful breakfast at the B&B will fuel your outing through the fresh, Oklahoma-grown produce, plants, herbs, baked goods, wine and flowers.
Next, head indoors to Arrowhead Mall, where standouts include the Daily Grind coffee shop, Candy Craze or Viva’s — a shop with “Okie from Muskogee” souvenirs.
Retire to the Graham Carroll House's eight-person hot tub with aromatherapy for a soothing gabfest beneath the bubbles.
Afternoon - Spend the afternoon hours recharging at Studio III Day Spa with a massage, facial, manicure or pedicure. Exchange silly stories in this fine salon as you continue to unwind and bond while being pampered.
Evening - Savor dinner at Miss Addie’s Café and Pub offering mouthwatering food in a classy and quiet atmosphere. Then head back to the Graham-Carroll House for pajama party conversation with your BFFs.
Day Three - Sunday
Morning - The last Muskogee morning calls for dining in style, so assemble your ladies for a savory breakfast served at Graham Carroll. Two courses of fresh fruit and homemade entrees are plated in the inn’s formal dining room. Upon checkout, take a stroll through Honor Heights Park. Home to the Azalea Festival in April and the Garden of Lights in December, this verdant wonderland is a 150-acre gem tucked into one of the oldest neighborhoods in Muskogee. You’ll appreciate the quiet time walking along the stream, climbing up to the waterfall or viewing the arboretum.
Drive down US-69 on your way out of town and visit the Amish Bakery, Fudge & Candle Shop. Homemade fudge, preserves, pickles and other Amish delicacies are available from this roadside treasure trove. Sit for a delicious lunch in the tearoom and stock up on candy and snacks for the car ride home.
