With the Tulsa Historical Society's purchase of the Travis
Mansion in 1997, Tulsa was promised a premier facility in which to
collect, preserve and present Tulsa's history. In 2007, the promise
was fulfilled. Look at these 2007 highlights:
- The Vintage Garden was installed and opened.
- The Five Moons were installed and unveiled on the west lawn.
- Renovations on the Samuel Travis Mansion were completed.
- The Travis Mansion grand opening event, The Magical History
Tour, had more than 400 attendees.
- THS collaborated with Tulsa Transit, The Philbrook Museum of
Art and Gilcrease Museum to offer "Second Saturday at the
Museums," a monthly bus route directly to and between the three
museums. Collaborations with the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and
the Oklahoma History Center are also being explored.
- Several new outreach presentations were introduced,
including Tulsa Theaters of Yesteryear, Culture Comes to
Tulsa and a readers theater for fourth graders, Statehood
Day at Hall's General Store. Outreach presentations on
Life of the Cowboy, Early Tulsa, and Art Deco 101 continue.
- Downtown walking tours were expanded.
- THS hosted bus trips to Oklahoma's oil patch and the
Oklahoma History Center.
- THS welcomed several speakers, including Guy Logsdon, who
discussed early Oklahoma labor, Eugene Atkinson, author of
Bloodmoon at Cabin Creek, and Laurence Yadon, co-author of
100 Oklahoma Outlaws, Gangsters, and Lawmen, 1839-1939.
- Sixteen exhibits opened, including Flashback '57:
Tulsarama and the Buried Belvedere, Facing a Century: Oklahoma
Centenarians, and Roaring 20s: Prosperity and Peril in the Oil
Capital of the World.
