  • Tulsa Historical Society MuseumTulsa Historical Society Museum Tulsa, Oklahoma
    The Tulsa Historical Society Museum is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and is the only museum in the city that highlights the city's excellent collection of artifacts that focus on collecting, preserving and presenting the city history. The museum is located in a 28,000 square foot building and grounds, which had been the site of a historic home in the Woodward Park area. As the society collects and preserves the artifacts and relics of the history of Tulsa, it is also saving the memories and experiences of the community, showing them in displays and exhibits, as well as onsite and offsite educational chances. The society contains seven current exhibits, the magnificent Vintage Garden with numerous architectural relics, the Tribune Research Library and the splendid bronze sculptures that tell the state's five internationally famous Native American ballerinas. The historical society was started in 1963, containing almost 5000 photographs, historical costumes, documents, books, maps, architectural remains, graphics and fine and decorative arts. The society had its headquarters in the Thomas Gilcrease house from 1985 to 1998, and then in 1997, funding was acquired through the Tulsa Tribune Foundation that helped the society buy the historic Samuel Travis mansion that was located south of the Tulsa Garden Center; and it has been enlarged to become the society's new home. The society is now presenting relics from their collection in the museum and can be researched by appointment. They manage the information that is gathered from the community, exhibits the collection materials and sponsor educational programs, as well as lectures for civic groups and schools, and the Tulsa Hall of Fame program that is done every fall. Today, the society has items that come from the 19th century all the way to the present, and includes 15,000 photographs, furniture, historical films and videos, military medals, manuscripts, 1000 books, maps, periodicals, fine and decorative arts, vertical files that cover about 6000 objects, architectural elements and clothing; plus many other wonderful treasures that will surprise and delight you. Besides the many photographs in the museum, the Beryl Ford Collection contains another 24,000 photographs which was bought in 2004, since Beryl Ford had been collecting photographs, negatives and other relics for the majority of his life. He passed away in 2009, at the age of 83. Other materials in this exciting collection of the city of Tulsa, includes oral histories, videos, and much more.  The city was originally settled by the Lockapoka Creek Indians between 1828 and 1836, who had been driven out of Alabama, beginning a new life under a huge oak tree in Tulsa, at the corner of Cheyenne and 18th Street. Just like the rest of the nation, the Indian territories were also divided during the Civil War, with the first battle being fought in Indian territory at the Battle of Round Mountain in November 1861, between the Confederate allied tribes and Union Creeks led Opothle Yahola somewhere around the town of Keystone, just west of Tulsa. In December of that year, the Battle of Caving Banks was fought, with Yahola leading the union Indians, with the Lockapokas, to find refuge in Kansas. In 1848, Lewis Perryman, an important Creek rancher, started a cattle ranch and trading post by the Lockapoka settlement, but was then killed in the Civil War in Kansas, but his son, George, would go back to the ranch and construct a big white house. In 1878, a star route mail station was started at the Perryman Store, and the area that was served by the store and station was soon being referred to as Tulsa. In 1882, the Frisco Railroad would extend one of their lines to the Arkansas River inside the Creek nation, which started bringing more whites to the region and Indian land. When the railroad was finished, in 1882, H. C. Hall, one of the contractors working for the railroad, and his brother, J. M. Hall, opened a railroad company store by the tracks, and since they were the first white settlers, they were credited with the beginning of Tulsa. In 1883, the Arkansas River had a bridge constructed, so that now the city was open by many ways of traveling, and it soon was getting better known as the cow town, with herds of cattle coming here to ship them by the railroad to a hungry north, and the city's streets today are aligned just right to handle the tracks.  In 1901, oil was discovered in Red Fork, and the oil boom began with fervor, forever changing the landscape of the state and city. When a strike occurred at Glen Pool in 1905, oil prices dropped and the state and Indian territories became the center of oil exploration and speculation, and by 1909, the city directory had 126 oil companies listed with offices in Tulsa. From then on, the cycles of the oil industry would directly affect the economy of the city and state.
