Route 66. Historic Route 66 is known as the “Mother Road”- a true piece of Americana. The highway was the passage west, a road full of dreamers and ramblers, drifters and writers. Millions of people have traveled this highway, from its glory days in the 1930s - 1950s through its demise with the creation of the interstate highway system and its current revival. Many historic and unique sites are found along the road in the Tulsa area, from Lyon’s Indian Store and Bama Pie Company to the University of Tulsa.

Creek Council Oak Tree. For centuries the Creek Council Oak Tree, Tulsa’s birthplace, has stood strong and tall. Discover Tulsa’s unique Native American history and the ancestors who were forced in the 1800s along the “trail of tears” from the southeastern US to eastern Oklahoma, bringing Southern traditions along with their Indian culture. Visit the revered Creek Council Oak Tree, which lives on as a symbol of our settlers’ strong spirit. Under this tree in 1836, the Lochapoka Creek Indians kindled a ceremonial fire using live coals carried from their Alabama homeland, and gathered to start a new life in Tulsee Town. This great oak was Tulsa’s first town hall, first conference room, first church and first court of law.  [Top]

Golden Driller. Built in 1966 for the International Petroleum Exposition, this 76-foot-tall symbol of an oilfield worker is one of the world’s largest free-standing statues and represents a major part of Tulsa’s history. More than 2 1/2 miles of rods and mesh are inside the Golden Driller!

Greenwood Cultural Center. In its glory days, Tulsa’s Greenwood District stretched for 20 blocks and was the largest and richest of Oklahoma’s 50 black communities-so wealthy, in fact, that Greenwood was known as the “Black Wall Street.” Shops bustled by day and clubs wailed blues and jazz by night. Greenwood was also home to one of the worst race riots in American history, but the district rose from the ashes to rebuild. Today, the Greenwood Cultural Center and the Mabel B. Little Heritage House present a permanent history of the district.  [Top]

Oral Roberts University Prayer Tower Visitors’ Center. Located in the center of the Oral Roberts University campus to symbolize the importance of prayer, the 200-foot Prayer Tower serves as the university’s visitor center. Constructed in the likeness of a modern-day cross, the Prayer Tower’s upward spiral is a reflection of man’s relationship with God. The outward thrust of the observation deck represents the crown of thorns worn by Jesus Christ on the cross, and the red color represents the blood shed at His death. Atop the tower, the eternal flame represents the baptism of the Holy Spirit. On the ground level, visitors can view the Journey into Faith and ORU Perspectives presentations or browse the gift shop.
