Things to do in Oklahoma

• Oklahoma City National Memorial &Museum
  The biggest memorial of its kind in the country, the Oklahoma City National Memorial was created to commemorate the lives of the people involved in the terrible bombing that took the city, country and world by surprise on April 19, 1995.  Giving distinguished honor to the victims, rescuers, survivors and all people whose lives were changed or affected by the horrific events of that fateful day.  The memorial was signed into existence by President Clinton on October 9, 1997 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places immediately, as is the usual case.  The museum and the Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism are housed in the former Journal Record Building on the northern side of the grounds.  It was officially dedicated on April 19, 2000.  Set on 3.3 acres, the Outdoor Symbolic Memorial contains many unique memorials and monuments.  The Gates of Time are identical gates made of bronze that frame the exact moment of destruction; 9:02, and are the formal entrance into the memorial.  9:01 is on the eastern gate, and 9:03 is found on the west gate.  The east gate represents the last seconds of peace and the western, the first seconds of recovery.  Next is the Reflecting Pool which is a thin layer of water that flows over a black granite block that allows the visitor to see his or her reflection and the reflection is that of a person that has been affected by domestic terrorism.  The Field of Empty Chairs are hand made of stone, glass and bronze; 168 representing the lives of those lost.  The chairs represent the people who died on the various floors, and each name is inscribed in the glass bottom, also symbolizing the empty dinner chairs at family tables.  The nineteen small chairs are for the children killed and three unborn babies names are listed beneath their mothers names.  The Survivors' Wall is the only part left of the building and included numerous panels of granite taken from the ruins and inscribed with the 800 survivors names.  The Survivor Tree is an American elm that sat on the north side in the parking lot and was a favorite spot to get early to keep the sun off the cars.
  

• Martin Park Nature Center
  Martin Park Nature Center is set on 140 beautiful acres with grassy areas and three streams flowing through it.  The streams are bordered by majestic trees that are home to winter, migrating and nesting land birds.  Within the park is a prairie dog town, and burrowing owls are in the process of getting a place for them.  Barn, barred and great horned owls make their homes in the park's trees, and no venomous  snakes are found.  The large nuts of the bur oak tree are almost as big as chicken eggs.  Teaching is one of the main thrusts of the staff here, hoping to educate both adults and children about the wonderful park and all the various natives within.  Many trails have been established so that visitors can enjoy and marvel in the fantastic park; that is free to all who come here.  Without the nature center, 3.5 miles of trails criss cross the grasslands and woods, including one for wheelchairs.  It is one of those naturally beautiful places that will renew, invigorate and lift your spirits.

Once the home of oil pioneer and magnate Waite Phillips and wife Genevieve, this Italian Renaissance villa was finished in 1927; showcasing 72 rooms on 23 acres of beautifully manicured gardens and lawns.  The exquisite gardens were replicated from the Villa Lante estate north of Rome during the 16th century.  The entire estate was given to the city in 1938, hoping that it would become a place for culture and art.  The original steel  and concrete framework was a perfect place for a museum, with little remodeling needed and many wonderful furnishings and other works of art were already housed there.  It was opened as a museum in 1939, with wonderful exhibits from around the world, with one of the best collections of Baroque and Renaissance art and sculpture in the nation.  Included are works from; Bernardo Strozzi, Piero di Cosimo, Tanzio da Varallo and Biagio d'Antonio da Firenze.  There are other 19th century European masters including; Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Americans Levi Wells Prentice, Thomas Moran and William Merritt Chase.  It is quite well known for its excellent African and Native American collections.

Gilcrease Museum
The best and biggest collection of the American west is housed at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, with an increasing collection of artifacts and art from South and Central America.  Named after oilman and collector Thomas Gilcrease, the collection is a plethora of the western United States.  Gilcrease was a Creek Indian and the government gave public land that had belonged to the tribes of the area to private citizens.  Each person was given a 160 acre plot, and Thomas' was just south of Tulsa, and incredibly ended up being part of a huge oilfield.  Starting the Gilcrease Oil Company, he was able to travel extensively and began collecting art of the great West, prideful of his Native American heritage.  He collected western art when it wasn't interested in and soon had a large collection.  Among them are the works of Thomas Moran, Albert Bierdtadt, Joseph Henry Sharp, Frederic Remington, John James Audubon, Charles Marion Russell and Alexandre Hogue.

• Cherokee Heritage Museum 
  This is a museum dedicated to the honor and glory of the least known people in North America; the original tribal women; Cherokee.  The society of the Cherokee was characterized by seven mother-descent clans.  Gathering in a seven sided hut, women and men made up the tribe's council, and the main chief elected.  The most supreme example of democracy, and it was destroyed, along with their beautiful heritage, culture and way of life.  Not a very proud moment in the history of this country or the history of mankind, but it unfortunately has happened over the course of human civilization, and most probably will until the end.  The Beloved woman was the main speaker for the women's council; but as the European hordes conquered the land, many of the Cherokee women inter-married, adopting the white man's ways; including the disenfranchise of women.  They, the Cherokees were slowly forced to farm, as the same time that their lands were being robbed, bought for pennies or gotten through the marriage.  The trail of tears, or the trail where the women cried, is a prime example of the horrendous callousness that these people were treated to by the European invaders.  During the 1830s, over 10,000 Cherokees were forced to move westward.  The first lands were sold during the early 1700s, small plots here and there; while the tribe vehemently opposed the sales, declaring that the white man would never be happy or content.  Wanting and getting more and more, the Cherokees were forced to leave.  During the journey west, many died, although no one knew how many or really cared; they were after all savages, right?  In the Treaty of New Echota, the U. S. government never has paid the $5 million it promised the Cherokee for their lands.
