Route 66 Historical Village — Attraction in Tulsa

This place is an awesome stop right off Route 66/Southwest Blvd in the Red Fork area of Tulsa, Oklahoma. We didn’t get to go inside the building they have but we did walk around and see the things they keep outside on the property. A large historical steam powered locomotive engine is the star of the show. Also there is a caboose, passenger train car, an old city bus and an old railway maintenance truck. My favorite part was the super neat neon sign they have near the road. Route 66 is such an awesome part of Americana and I’m so glad that my hometown of Tulsa has a large role in the history of this special roadway. This should be a must stop on any Route 66 road-trip or if you’re in T-town visiting! Interesting, cool and...

I think it's eventually going to house informational brochures or something similar. The best part, by far, of this stop was the oversized concrete "Route 66" sign - made for a decent photo op. This was a 10-minute stop, no more unless you have a particular knowledge or...

It is a historic village about two hours from Oklahoma City

I had the opportunity to experience the history of Tulsa

On display here at the Open Air Museum, you can experience Tulsa's beginning by viewing the vintage railcars, trolley, historic pump jack and boarding a fully restored caboose and more.

The tallest oil Derrick in the north America is historical and worth seeing to me

I also touched the steering wheel of an old bus with wooden interior seats.
