Greenwood Rising Black Wall St. History Center

Greenwood Rising may be the most important museum to visit in Tulsa. Located in a neighborhood once called Black Wall Street, it tells the story of the brutal Tulsa Massacre where the White community killed and destroyed a historically Black neighborhood over a misunderstanding. The museum does a superb job of talking about what led to the massacre, what happened during, and after. At the end, it invites you to play an active role in reconciliation. 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. Each one has a mix of photos, videos, artifacts, and more. They also warn you of any sensitive material like a KKK gown.

My family and I traveled from West Virginia to visit Greenwood Rising in Tulsa, and it was absolutely worth the trip. The museum is both powerful and educational, honoring the history of the Greenwood District and the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The exhibits are moving, interactive, and tell the story of resilience, culture, and strength in a way that leaves a lasting impact. Greenwood Rising is more than a museum—it’s an experience everyone should have to truly understand this important part of American history.

One of the best museums I've ever been to. Beautiful displays and told the story so well. Was truly a learning experience. I would recommend making sure you have time to read everything and really let the whole experience resonate with you.

This is an excellent museum! It is very contemporary and features very interesting and informative exhibits, photographs, and halograms. There is a variety of antiques and an interesting short film. This was the highlight of our trip to Tulsa! If you've never visited this museum, I strongly recommend that you visit! You won't be disappointed!

The Greenwood Rising Black Wall St. History Center is a very well done tribute to the people victimized by the mayhem and murder that decimated the Greenwood community in 1921. We came over from Dallas and discovered this wonderful remembrance museum while walking the Greenwood neighborhood. Am so glad we decided to stop in. The History Center is an excellent curation and presentation that is quite successful in its ability to evoke the array of sentiments, including a personal call to commitment to actions to ensure the people and the families who lost everything are never forgotten.

Engaging staff and informative. The museum is beautifully put together which made for an excellent day trip. The images are powerful. I also enjoyed the interactive barbershop display.

Great experience first hand account start to finish of the legendary district On Greenaood, Archer, and Pine in Tulsa. Lots of Valuable information & pictures of this tragedy never recognized on USA soil. The will to win is definitely displayed remarkable & brilliance cannot be forgotten.

Beauuuutiful museum! Purchasing tickets ahead is not necessary at all. Kind of small but still took us a little over an hour to see it all and read literally everything. I didnt grow up in Oklahoma so I learned a lot. They're very conscious of sensitivities and triggers to visitors. The bathrooms are also very nice! The "store" could use some help though. Would've loved to support local black artists and buy some merch.
