The nice gentleman at front desk told us the history of Tulsa. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his real life and exact stories. Thank you Sir. Most impressive and sad incident of racial massacred. The museum show the history of Tulsa from past to present. Well worth seeing.

I love the pictures and memorabilia they have on display here as well as the three automobiles. The Tribune research library has a wealth of information in books that you may look through. The lady at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. It's well worth the price of admission, $5 for seniors!

Helpful staff, a varied and interesting array of exhibits on Tulsa history, and a beautiful adjacent garden to walk through. A must for anyone who wants to know more about Tulsa's history.

Worth the stop! I love history and museums, so this was an automatic on the "things to do in Tulsa".
Self guided tour and plenty to see and learn about in an historic home renovated for the purposes of its use today as a museum.
The docents let us know there will soon be some new additions to museums permanent display/collection; so I must visit again next time I'm in Tulsa.

The museum is a great way to beat the heat in the summer. Seeing all of the exhibits took less time than I expected but we still enjoyed it. The large exhibit changes every 18 months and the smaller every 12 months. If you are looking for the history of Route 66 note that this exhibit was gone as of our visit summer 2018. We didn't try the walking paths but they look nice for an easy and scenic walk.
