ALL HAT, NO SOUND
N THE former territorial capital of Guthrie, there’s a building that once housed the Blue Belle Bar. Founded in 1889 in the wake of the Land Rush, it was one of Guthrie’s most popular watering holes. But the saloon’s main claim to fame might have less to do with its genesis and more to do with a certain one-time bartender. Before he found fame in Hollywood, the Blue Belle is where future western silent movie star Tom Mix once poured drinks for real outlaws, real frontier marshals, and real gunfighters.
