Join Us for a Saturday Morning Adventure!
The Caldwell Collection & Lunch in El Reno
Saturday, October 31, 2026
Ready for a fun morning with your Mercedes-Benz friends? Join us for a scenic drive to El Reno to explore The Caldwell Collection at Mustang Field, a fascinating aviation museum filled with vintage aircraft and World War II history. Afterward, we’ll head to Freeman’s Restaurant for lunch and good conversation.
Housed in a restored World War II-era hangar, The Caldwell Collection features more than 20 vintage aircraft, including Waco biplanes and other historic airplanes from the 1920s through the 1940s. You’ll also learn about Mustang Field’s role in training pilots during World War II. Admission is free!
And since it’s Halloween, we’ll finish our outing in plenty of time to get home for trick-or-treating! ??
