Billed as the "Heart of Historic Route 66," Sapulpa, Oklahoma's bustling downtown area hosts visitors from across the globe in search of Mother Road adventures. Sapulpa's history is steeped in a lively mix of Native American soul – the town is named after Chief Sapulpa, a Lower Creek Indian from Alabama – and the early days of oil. Today, internationally renowned Frankoma Pottery, founded in the 1930s and one of the few remaining potteries operating in the U.S. today, offers unique dinnerware and hand-crafted pieces made by master artisans. Take a free guided tour and don't miss the gift shop with its vintage Frankoma section. Speaking of vintage, the Waite Phillips Service Station built in 1922 is just one block off Route 66 and houses automobiles from the 1920s.
