Route 66 Historical Village

This is a historic train station before entering the city of Tulsa from Historic Route 66. This is classify as historic village with the oil rig tower and station. The oil strike is started at 1901. The tower is the landmark can be spotted very far away along the route. Although there buildings next to the oil rig, but they are not open and no restroom facilities. There is an old train park there. Same as the train, there is a truck park there too. Both can be the photo opportunity. The visit take less than 15 minutes.

a great place to step back into the Oklahoma history and Route 66 and see what it was like. The details are amazing in everything there. Also a good place to stretch your legs.

What a well put together venue! So many buildings and so much memorabilia! We enjoyed peering into buildings that were meant to replicate what life used to be about way back when! Impressive auto collection too!

Fun little stop for a couple photo ops. There was a gentleman on site repainting. He was nice and it shows they are trying to keep the property in good shape. There are a couple of historic trains and other vehicles, a little service station, and bathrooms. I didn't spend more than 10 minutes here. Wouldn't make a special trip, but a neat quick stop if you're going along Route 66 in Tulsa.

In the middle of creating this site to commemorate "The Mother Road". There is 145' oil derrik, the first oil strike in 1901 that made Tulsa the "Oil Capital". The best thing so far is the restored Frisco 4500 steam engine, and coal car. There is a passenger car, tank car and caboose. They have the old sign from the Bell, and looks like they are in phase two of the village. If you are interested in trains, you would like this. There is room for kids to run, but they shouldn't climb on the train.
