Tulsa

If you really want to get to know the city of Tulsa and its history, take a walk through the historic downtown. The wealthy oil barons of the 1920s left their mark on the town by building decadent Art Deco buildings as well as streamlined buildings in the style of the Great Depression and the New Deal. As a result, downtown Tulsa has one of the nation’s top five collections of Art Deco architecture. Print of this guide and map from the Tulsa visitors center and take your time walking through downtown, learning about the buildings and their history. If you’d rather listen to an expert speak on the subject, the Tulsa Historical Society offers guided walking tours of the city.
