Located northeast of Oklahoma City on route 66, Tulsa is the second
city of the state and a good starting point for exploring green
country. The city was founded 1836 under a sturdy oak tree - the tree still
stands at 18-th and Cheyenne Str. The city changed a lot when in 1901
oil was discovered. The city grew rapidly and many of its monuments
date from the beginning of the 20-th century. This means you'll find
some great Art Deco architecture. The oil boom also inspired the
nouveau riche to collect art and the city know houses a few nationally
renowned museums, such as the Philbrook Museum of Art. Tulsa is quite a cosmopolitan town. Check out the Gilcrease
Museum, the Philbrook Museum, the Tulsa Zoo, and Oklahoma's Jazz Hall
of Fame. Other unique attractions worth a stop include the Elsing
Museum, Ida Dennie Willis Museum of Miniatures, Dolls & Toys, Tulsa
Air and Space Center and the Fenster Museum of Jewish Art. Cherry Street and Utica Square are the most lively part of
town. Many quaint shops and boutiques as well as bars and restaurants
are to be found there.
