Jim Thorpe's burial site

located between Shawnee and nearby Prague.

Fireworks stands

Just outside city limits in almost every direction,Usually open around the Fourth of July

Buddhist Temple

located approximately 20 miles outside Shawnee off I-40, an extreme rarity in the Oklahoma area (http://www.ctbuddhamind.org/)

Curtis Watson's Restaurant

can be found off of I-40 between Shawnee and Oklahoma City.

Carl Hubbell Museum

and burial site are north on Highway 18 in Meeker, Oklahoma, a treat for fans of old-time major league baseball.
