Things To Do
Historic Greenwood
The Greenwood Cultural Center is the keeper of the flame for the Black Wall Street era, the events known as the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot, and the astounding resurgence of the Greenwood District in the months and years following the tragedy. Dubbed America's "Black Wall Street" by none other than noted author and educator Booker T. Washington, the 35-block Greenwood District surrounding the corner of Greenwood Avenue and Archer Street became a prosperous center for black commerce in the early 1900s. A hotbed for jazz and blues, and the site where Count Basie first encountered big-band jazz, the Greenwood District was the richest African-American neighborhood in North America.
The Gathering Place
The Gathering Place was voted USA Today's Best New Attraction of 2019 - it's an extraordinary recreational space that is an outdoor, civic and cultural destination for all walks of life to enjoy, promoting inclusivity. The massive riverfront park preserves the area’s natural ambiance and integrates a modern and sustainable landscape into the greater surrounding area. We highly recommend visiting The Gathering Place on Friday in the daytime, should you arrive early, or for a Sunday afternoon stroll. https://www.gatheringplace.org/
Mother Road Market
To experience Tulsa's version of Williamsburg's Smorgasbord, visiting the new Mother Road Market is a must-visit while in Tulsa. From amazing regional foods to awesome wood fired pizza and places for kids to run free, this is a great spot on a nice day in Tulsa to grab a bite, coffee or do some local shopping.
Woody Guthrie Center
The Woody Guthrie Center is more than a museum; it is a center of investigation for inspiration.
