Tulsa - Northeast (Green Country) | ||||||||
What began as Tulsee Town in 1836 under a sturdy oak tree, which still stands today at 18th and Cheyenne Streets, is today the second largest city in Oklahoma. Ask people to describe Tulsa, and you'll likely get many different answers. It was a city forever changed by the discovery of oil in 1901. It is home to art deco treasures and nationally renowned museums. Its African American heritage left its mark, in both the business and music worlds. And it's a city of nostalgia and special memories for countless Americans due to its location on historic Route 66. Whether you're here for business or pleasure, Tulsa is a cosmopolitan town that appeals to both young families and retirees. National touring exhibitions can be seen at the Philbrook Museum of Art, which has been featured on the television program "America's Castles." For great western art, check out the Gilcrease Museum, and music legends are commemorated at Oklahoma's Jazz Hall of Fame. For a great shopping experience, a visit to Cherry Street or Utica Square is a must, and for those who would rather spend the afternoon on the links, Tulsa has several exclusive golf courses to choose from. During summer months, Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical, Oklahoma!, is performed at the Discoveryland amphitheater where a barbecue dinner and roping lessons add to the evening's entertainment. Tulsa is also home to several outstanding events too numerous to list, but those worth a mention include Mayfest, the Gatesway International Balloon Festival, Oktoberfest and the Tulsa Pow Wow of Champions.
