    Our experience at Greenwood Rising was sobering, inspirational, memorable. We combined this trip with taking our granddaughter back home to Saint Louis. The exhibit was tastefully done, and full of modern and riveting exhibits of the rich history of Tulsa's black Wall Street. The pricing for the 3 of us was $30, and it took about 2 hours to get through the entire exhibit. We were greeted with a smile, and all the services available to us were explained on the front end. The place was clean and well maintained. Street parking was $2. This is a must see museum when you visit Tulsa.

    Hope?

    I'm from Southern California and have strolled Black Wall Street on a prior visit. But visiting GR gave me so much in-depth history of the thriving businesses, the abundant lives, the ingenuity and the entrepreneurial genius of the once burgeoning Black Wall Street. This was a very emotional visit in that it demonstrated the hideous destruction of hate. I was brought to tears, filled with anger and ultimately left there with hope. I highly recommend that you visit if you ever get the chance.

    For my birthday, I took a trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma to learn more about Black Wall Street. The Greenwood Rising Museum helped in developing an understanding of the richness and strength of our people. Richness not in the sense of monetary but culture, beauty and perseverance we carry within our DNA. This museum is a must see to experience. The pricing was reasonable and the merchandise supports in displaying a sense of pride. The workers are friendly and knowledgeable about the community.

    An amazing experience. Glad that I was able to learn about an important part of this nation's history. The people at the entrance counter were very friendly and gave us a quick quide on how to make our way through the exhibit. A very very detailed exhibit that also makes you think and reflect on where we are now in society.

    The place has a multitude of history in it. The background of Tulsa is everywhere! Parking was so easy, we found street parking quickly. The price isn't bad either.

    A wealth of history in this place! Must go to museum in Tulsa, OK! Easy access to parking. 1-2hrs to walk through it!

    Wasn't part of the race riots, but this definitely led to the race riots. As it was slavery against blacks.

    This is a memorial of the Tulsa riots of 1921. It's commemorated by pictures and an video of interviews by survivors. So much detail by obtaining things from that time such as a barber's chair, cash register, weapons etc. to keep the authenticity. I spent the day going from place to place hearing about the horrible event. This one was the best experience. It's a self guided tour. You see a lot in this place. Worth checking out.

    Beautifully curated museum that covers a difficult topic. I lived in Tulsa during 5th and 6th grade and we never heard one thing about the Greenwood area or Black Wall Street, I learned about it from PBS. When I knew I would be in Tulsa as the official photographer for the Maltese Club national specialty, this museum was the one thing I absolutely wanted to experience. This museum is high quality and I felt we got a tremendous value for our admission. The displays and interactive parts made it an immersive experience that was enlightening and painful simultaneously. Definitely visit the Greenwood Rising museum no matter how much you think you know about it, you'll learn valuable new insights from the time spent there. Our visit lasted about 2 hours which added more value to our admission.

    Absolutely incredible time spent here learning even more about The Tulsa Massacre. The staff were truly outstanding and friendly. They educated us on the museum tour prior and highlighted key points. The value of this space is priceless and should definitely be a must visit when you come to Tulsa.

    Although some locals say this center isn't the best way to learn about the history of Tulsa, I still learned a lot. I understand that there are many sides to a story and I accept the onus to seek information from many different perspectives and people. I appreciated visiting this center and liked the setup and flow of the information. It engaged different senses and offered captioning. I recommend visiting this center AND speaking to as many locals and descendants as possible.

    Took my kiddos here to gather some history, they are home schooled. We went for a hours worth of things we wanted to discover for ourselves. This is an amazing place. We were thankful for the preserved history and remarkable things they displayed. If you need a breath of history, let them revive you with the truths of Tulsa. Let them open your eyes to this portion we knew nothing to its entirety. I'm certain you'll get a glimpse, walk in and learn!!! I'm sure we didn't have the entirety of Tulsa's past... but this place will help you feel and know!!! Thank you Margo.

    This place is powerful! From the building structure, to the staff, to the shown information, all of it was a true experience. I'm honored to have remembered and learn what my ancestors endured. To see pictures and visuals, it was heart felt and real. If you're in Tulsa, attendance is a must.

    Beautiful and apt quote outside Greenwood Rising
    Tonia K.

    Greenwood Rising is an immersive experience that details the 1921 destruction and massacre of Tulsa's thriving Black community known as Black Wall Street. I'm not from Tulsa or Oklahoma and until recently, this was buried in history. During your visit, you'll very likely experience a range of emotions. What I can appreciate is that the exhibits tell the story before, during, after, and the impact of the race masacre. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of how past events have lingering impacts today. There are also resources for how you can contribute meaningfully to the community's rebirth and to the broader conversations toward understanding and healing. Well worth a visit!

If you're ever curious about checking this makers space out, they have tours every Saturday at 1pm. It's an amazing facility. The building opened in 2022 and it was made just for them so it's a huge upgrade from their previous location, where they were for 11 years. They now have an open floor plan with high ceilings and lots of natural light along with 20+ machines available. From laser cutters/engravers to water jets and 3D printers, the resources they offer are mind blowing. Fab Lab Tulsa is one of 1500+ MIT-chartered Fab Labs in 90+ countries and the first in the southeastern region of the U.S. (that's right, not even Dallas has one). Aside from the studio on the first floor, they have a metal lab and a wood lab, each with 10+ machines available. Both labs have a minimum age and require PPE to be worn at all times. The second floor has classrooms and a conference room. They have a membership model with lots of options depending on how many hours per month you'd like to have as well as what room. The pricing starts at $39 a month, which sounds like an incredible deal since you get to use machines that are $30-60k. Classes are also available for signup on their website along with education programming for kids. They have a couple of workforce initiatives as well. This is a huge asset in our community!
