Beautiful!!! Loved it. Next time we will do the guided tour not the self guided.

It is an exceptional experience. Beautiful mansion with some very interesting history. It is very large and will take a little while to go through. I would recommend the guided tour. You will learn much more about the mansion and see things you may not see on your own. Our guide knew A great deal about not only the house/mansion but the family who live there and built it. A great piece of the past.

I absolutely LOVE working at the Marland Mansion for wedding events! We just did a styled shoot here a few weeks ago and it was a dream! Truly the most gorgeous and breathtaking venue. We had so much fun and the team here was a joy to work with!

Amazing place! Really enjoyed the tour and history!

This is a wonderful place to stop if you are in Ponca City for the day. Air Conditioned indoor fun about the history of the Oil Barrons of Oklahoma! You can look in each room of 40,000 square foot home built in the early 1900s that had working air conditioning at the time. Tours are available.

Amazing home with an intriguing history. A must see. Been here several times and will return. Learn more each time I go. Notice some new detail I didn't see the time before.

BEWARE If You Blink Wrong they will keep your security deposit! Can’t even enjoy a beautiful wedding without having to walk on egg shells at this place. Any little mistake and they are quick to bother u all night. They kept my security deposit because a can was left outside how pathetic. Other than that it’s a beautiful place just be perfect and u won’t worry about anything

I've photographed several weddings here and it is stunning every time! - Loretta Lewis Photography

Wow! This place is gorgeous!! What a great tour! Docents were exceptional in relaying the history of the mansion.You must see it all..even the restroom! Beautiful ceiling decor. Wood carved cabinetry and trimmings and safes...safes everywhere! Even in the kitchen...must of been some fantastic pies in their day! :) I loved how they had lots of clothing and accessories depicting the Roaring 20's, as that is the theme throughout this mansion. Highly recommend you visit here!! Don't forget to take in the outer building on the grounds. They were closed on this day, so we simply peered through the windows. So glad to see they are preserving these outer building. You could tell the carriage doors had recently been varnished and they made the craftsmanship of the period just pop out and tantalize your eyes! Check out the amazing story about unearthing Lydie's Statue, a marvelous find, indeed!

Very interesting history; beautiful aristocratic mansion; 1.75 hour guided tour is well worth it; architecture and amenities was ahead of it's time; be sure to look at all of the ceilings!!! Not the Biltmore Estate in N.C., but quite impressive never the less. A midwest jewel.

We visited the museum on a quiet day in May 2023. Because there were almost no other visitors on site, we were lucky that David, the Executive Director, could take the time to give us a fine guided tour with excellent explanations and exciting stories and we were also allowed to ask lots of questions. Well we were very interested :). So we had a great time with David, learned a lot and were very impressed! There we have had really luck. On this way a big thank you to David for this excellent Friday morning! The museum is very interesting in many ways. The life story of Mr. Marland and his family is remarkable and amazing (and also a little scary and sad), the building is technically as well as stylistically, optically and architecturally exciting, there is a lot to see and you can dive into the past with pleasure and let yourself be touched if you like. Now, yes, we had the best museum guide you could ever wish for. So we would recommend every visitor to take a tour! Really. The museum and its many exhibits and facilities do need their explanations and become all the more interesting. This information cannot be perceived in depth during a short unguided tour - unless you read up on the literature. But even if you go through briefly, it will be impressive for any visitor. About the content: A self-made multi-millionaire builds himself a huge villa with technology that was unique at the time (air conditioning, heating, elevators), international flair (he had craftsmen come from Italy, for example, etc.) and exciting, clever and very detailed architecture. However, the whole object is not dully ostentatious but impresses with a real feel-good atmosphere. The museum doesn't look that big from the outside, but it's huge inside. Our conclusion and recommendation: The museum is definitely always worth a short visit - but we strongly (!) recommend to take your time and enjoy this wonderful impressive museum for two hours during a museum tour.

I love the whole mansion. It's very intricate and artistic. 92 years old mansion but still looks great!! I enjoyed the guided tour and Mr. Jim is fantastic!

Great place for some Oklahoma history

This place is amazing! I walked through it on my own first, then took a guided tour. Definitely worth doing the tour! We got a lot of extra information and visited rooms that aren't open to the general public. The art and design in this house is absolutely incredible, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

It like a fancy jungle jim

Great museum and the self guided tour isn’t bad. I prefer the guided tour if it works for my schedule.

Fun for the kids.

Very interesting

It's a beautiful place

Go. Take your time. Ask lots of questions and ask about the secret rooms.

Even though it was closed and would have lived to see the inside, it was very cool to see!

Love visiting the mansion! My grandfather use to do the yard work here many years ago, my grandma and mother use to take care of Lydie when she got older. I use to call her grandma. But it truly is a wonderful place to visit. And also to have weddings and others celebrations as well.

I truly enjoyed visiting the mansion and the grounds. Another place in Oklahoma that should be an inspiration to people of all walks of life. There is so much to the story some of which are very positive and some that are both sobering and sad.

My son and I visited here, We thoroughly enjoyed our selves. This is a very opulent and gorgeous estate. It had to be more so from the Era in which it was built. We visited as a museum and honestly, I had a hard time imaging someone calling this home, it is so big!! This is a definite must visit if you are close or far away, come see the beautiful estate, and learn of the great history of this home, and some other interesting facts.

This past weekend i hosted a baby shower at Lydie’s cottage and it was fantastic. Kim was so great to work with and made the facility rental so easy, she explained the rental policies and had everything completely taken care of for us. The dining hall was set up, clean, and ready to go which made set up a breeze. There were plenty of extra tables and chairs available if they were needed. The price was great for such a wonderful space and I highly recommend throwing your small parties at the cottage!

Beautiful place to spend a nice Sunday afternoon. The staff were courteous, and the place has been kept well. A nice slice of recent history. The ticket is $10/adult, and I guess slightly lower for children and citizens over 65.

The tour was excellent and fun, Thanks Jeff! If you live in Ponca the tour is free, and if not the ticket is $10. If you want to see another part of the buildings that are at the Mansion you might request to see them like the Cottage or the Artist building.

We enjoyed the tour and learning the history of Marland Mansion. David and Kim were knowledgeable, helpful, and a delight to meet. Thank you for your hospitality!

Beautiful former home of E. W. Marland and family and site of the Marland Estate. Now owned by the city of Ponca City, Oklahoma, it is preserved as a historic museum, landmark, tourist destination and event center.

One of the most interesting trips we've taken in Oklahoma. The mansion is beautiful with unique additions made during construction. I highly recommend finding out the scheduled tour times. The history is fascinating.

Great tour guides! Beautiful mansion!

We did the self guided tour, allowing us the freedom of viewing the assorted rooms and display at our own speed and to fully take it in. We were treated to a partial guided tour through some of the more limited access areas, which we greatly appreciated and enjoyed. All in all after a couple hours going through the house and grounds, we were amazed with its grandure and especially the attention to detail in the wood carving and mosaics on the ceilings as well as other areas.

A MUST-SEE Oklahoma landmark! The entire place is unbelievable, and likely only surpassed by the governor's mansion in OKC. I recommend a guided tour, but you can do self-tours as well. (same price) Everything from the floor to the ceiling to the exterior and the windows and light fixtures can only be described as stunning!! It's not expensive. Take plenty of pictures and share them with your friends. They will thank you and visit it themselves to see it in person.

Visited about a month ago and keep looking thru all the photos that were taken from that day. David and Kim are so welcoming and David gave us a tour with so much details and information that it almost made me feel like I was part of the story, I can't say thank you enough! Kim is so helpful and nice and welcoming, please if you haven't visited this place and are in the area check it out!

Fantastic venue for a wedding! Gorgeous architecture, rich interiors, romantic gardens! Perfect backdrop for our friend’s wedding! We are so happy we were able to be a part of their special day and couldn’t have been happier to had the chance to experience the beauty of the Marland Mansion!

Had a good time touring this historical, beautiful mansion. We arrived just in time for a tour, and our tour guide Jerry was awesome! There are quite a few stairs, so ask to use the elevator if stairs are difficult for you. Really enjoyed the art work and views of the grounds from the upper floor. So much history here, and a nice gift shop.

you need to go!

Definitely worth the trip.

Incredible architecture! Amazing grounds!

Koved our time spent at the Marland mansion

Amazing amount local history and what a story in it self.

Beautiful 💓

Enjoyed our visit to the Marland Mansion today. Especially liked that it is a self-guided tour. An employee even allowed us to tour the main kitchen in the lower level.

They keep changing the grounds, entrance ways and removing buildings and it takes away from what it used to be. It used to be Grand now its just ok....

Liked the ammonia refrigerator and steam dishwasher from the period.

Very amazing place to visit. There is a guided tour daily at 1:30. Also you can tour on your own. The history of Ernest Whitworth Marland is quite fascinating to say the least. It is worth the trip to Ponca City OK.

So cool! They have walking tours during the day, but even after the tours are over you can still wander the grounds and walk around inside a bit. Really neat place.

A great place to see how things were in the 1920s for the very wealthy. Lovely house & outstanding furnishings!

I was impressed that such a stunningly beautiful location existed in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma. If you’re ever in the area this place is most likely one of the only points of interests worth visiting.

I was there for Pokemon go but the mansion grounds are nice, and for Pokemon go players there is a lot of pokestops.

Been on a historical tour as well as a wedding here. The tour was fascinating, beautiful, and affordable. The staff is very knowledgeable so ask questions to get more fun facts. The wedding was also very well done and very beautiful.

Amazing place no doubt about it. Very informative about the place and it's either at your own pace or with a guide. Definitely recommend if you have been, it's a must see!

This home is a hidden treasure. The story behind the walls is intriguing. The architecture and intricate details are Captivatibg. You will not be disappointed! It is well worth the scenic drive from Pawhuska to Ponca City.

Love this place and the history behind it!

Beautiful place! So full of history and fun to explore!

Loved this place! So unique and beautiful! Very interesting.

Good information available. Staff knowledgeable and helpful. Very fabulous place.

Beautiful mansion

A very beautiful place. If you're passing through...stop by and check the Marland Mansion out!

Nice tour

My interest in Marland and the mansion was piqued after reading "Killers of the Flower Moon." It was really interesting to see and imagine what it must have been like during it and his glory years.

The staff were very knowledgeable and kind and the mansion is gorgeous!!! Can't wait to visit again!!!

This place was great just awesome beautiful rooms beautiful authentic antiques this was just an amazing place and I recommend people to really visit this

Really cool place..

Love the tragedy of it all and the beautiful art work

Proof that dreams are valid

It is one of the must go places in oklahoma. Beautiful architect, landscaping and historical mansion. I was very excited and thrilled to visit here, unfortunately I couldn't get inside as the visiting hours timing is till 5:00 pm. But I will visit again to go inside.

Neat peace of history

I've been a dozen times and am still fascinated.

God I love this place. The grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. I went there when I was about 10 in 1991. I loved it then and a love it now. I enjoyed being able to share my experience with my wife and daughter. Sadly the mansion is closed on Sundays and the Google maps page wasn't updated. I have realised that in these "trying times" it's always a good idea to call ahead when it comes to almost all of your destinations so I consider that mistake on me.
