My World – Tulsa History Museum

A couple weeks ago SuperPizzaBoy and I went to the Tulsa History Museum operated by the Tulsa Historical Society at the Travis Mansion at Woodward Park.

Know something, it was free. SPB and I are all over free.

It’s not a real big museum but it is packed with stuff.

We loved this old truck polished to a high gloss.

They had relics from some of the grand old movie theaters downtown. Some cities have preserved some of these spaces and repurposed them for concerts and such. Not Tulsa, we’re progressive. We tore’em down. Can’t ever have too many parking lots!

I’ve previously posted this picture. It’s SPB discovering a juke box. His first selection was Frank Sinatra, which was fine. His second was the Partridge Family (or something similar). So no more juke boxes for SPB.

Pardon the reflection. (If my photographer knew he was doing this blog would be a lot better.) They had an exhibit on old department stores and including some of the fashions. I love that yellow dress. Do you think they have my size?

I loved the crown shaped perfume bottle. I bet it has the butterfly and taffy scent. It has to.

We enjoyed ourselves. We went next door to the Tulsa Garden Center. They had something going on also. I’ve always loved this little room off the end.

Hey, look who we found, Sweetie, working a booth and helping kids, hey that’s SPB!, plant something.

Yep, Sweetie, who is here there and everywhere is working with the LiL Green Thumbs with their children’s programs. I’ll brag on her a little. In addition to all her other talents, she is a Oklahoma State University certifed Master Gardener.

Know something else. She made the display board and decorated the table.

She’s awesome.

    The Garden Center and Historical Society are both really nice. The orange truck is bew to me. I need to get back over there.

    Hey, bragging on your wife and kid is perfectly acceptable, and you have a lot to brag about.

    I can only repeat everything that Sandy has said and you have definitely made my day, one more time. How very fortunate you are to have found and recognized one another. And I always love hearing about the fun you and you son have. Thanks, for all you do! Have a great week!
