Oklahoma Travel Guide
There is a surprising amount to see and do in Oklahoma. With over 50 state parks and 2 National Historic sites, one National Battlefield in Washita a National park in Chickasaw, seven full-service resorts and 11 challenging golf courses, Oklahoma has a lot to offer year round. Oklahoma was derived from two Choctaw Indian words: okla meaning people and humma meaning red. Culturally, Oklahoma is a diverse state. Once the land of Cowboys and Indians, the state has kept detailed documentation of its cultural history in museums such as the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Tulsa is the other urban center. Both cities offer all the excitement and amenities of other big cities, with lots of outdoor opportunities just around the corner. Bartlesville, just outside of Tulsa, is home to Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower which was the architect's only skyscraper.
