Would be easy just to pop in while strolling downtown Tulsa.

The Outsiders is one of my favorite books and movies…read more I knew some of it was filmed on location in Tulsa, but I didn't think the house where Patrick Swayze famously performed a handstand out front was still there. It is - and so is the extra pole that was added to the fence after it buckled during the first take. The inside is quaint, semi recreated and jam packed with memorabilia from the film. I loved the bedroom that recreates the setting where Ponyboy read Johnny's letter, which inspired him to write his English essay. I also loved all the random movie posters, candid photos and movie costumes - especially the autograph wall. The volunteers - who are strategically stationed around the property are the best. They're happy to talk all things book, movie and Tulsa related. If you're nice - they'll tell you about Crutchfield Park, which is just down the street and where the Greaser / Soc rumble was filmed.

Though not very…read morebig, it's packed with interesting memorabilia from the movie that will keep you engaged as you wander through. The best part are the volunteers. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do and they are eager to share stories and little-known facts about the history behind the movie and exhibits. Their passion really brings the place to life. While we were there we met some fans who had traveled from out of state just to visit. We also chatted with the photographer who was a neighborhood local at the time of the filming and happened to capture behind the scenes photographs on set. He now sells photographs onsite and had some fun stories to share. Parking is convenient with a small lot out back, but if that's full, there's usually plenty of street parking nearby. There is a great little gift shop to check out before you leave as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Located right off historic Route 66 in Tulsa, this open-air exhibit offers a nostalgic look at Oklahoma's rich oil and rail history. The highlight is the massive, vintage Frisco 4500 steam locomotive--perfect for photos and a hit with both kids and adults. There's also a historic red caboose, an old oil derrick that towers over the site, and a replica 1920s gas station that really gives you that classic Route 66 vibe. It's a quick but memorable stop, especially for families, history buffs, or anyone doing a Route 66 road trip. There are informative signs and plaques scattered throughout, so you get a nice mix of visuals and historical context. Bonus: it's completely free and open to the public, with easy parking. It's not a full museum experience, so don't expect to spend hours here--but for a fun 15-30 minute stop with great photo ops and some genuine Oklahoma charm, the Route 66 Historical Village is definitely worth it.

It was incredible to learn about the history of Greenwood and see it up close through pictures and exhibits. Being from Oakland, CA, I've learned about this history through stories, videos, and books. But actually standing in Greenwood and seeing the history displayed on the walls made it feel so real and meaningful. It gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation for the strength and resilience of the community. This museum is a must-see for anyone visiting the Tulsa area. It's educational, moving, and something you won't forget.

The museum cost $15 for adults and gives discounts to students, the elderly, veterans, etc. Once inside, you'll watch a short video before exploring six galleries.

I spent around two and one half hours with the exhibits and I could have stayed longer. Make sure you watch the intro video before you start your tour. Then make time to watch the VR presentation about the Dust Bowl.

They loved it as much as we did. I can't wait to take the rest of the grandchildren. This is a well organized museum. The exhibits attract and holds the interest of people of all ages. My 13 year old grandson who like most 13 year olds bores easily with anything that's not a video game or legos, was totally engaged. All of the staff was wonderful, but I was particularly impressed with Sam, who went way beyond what was expected to help us understand Woody Guthrie and that period of history. I am a retired history teacher and I appreciate encountering talented and dedicated teachers whether they are employed in schools or places such as museums.
