There are dozens of 6 ft tall penguin sculptures scattered throughout the city. It is a local art project to raise funds for the Tulsa Zoo. The fundraiser began in 2002 as a way to raise money to build a black-footed African penguin exhibit. As of 2012, you could still find more than 50 of the penguins in and around Tulsa.
It was under the Creek Council Oak Tree in 1836 that the Lochapoka Creek Indians kindled a ceremonial fire using live coals they had carried from their Alabama homeland. This oak was Tulsa's first town hall, first conference room, first church and first court of law. This tree symbolizes the spirit of Tulsa's early settlers.
The mission of the Tulsa Botanic Garden is to promote the beauty and importance of plants and nature to create a more sustainable and harmonious world.
Serves to promote the history of Tulsa's Greenwood District, which was home to one of the worst racially-motivated massacres in American history (in 1921). Special performances are often held at this center.
