The legends along Route 66 continue to entertain.

Beyond the neon signs and the nostalgia of open-air diners, there is a darker history that refuses to stay buried.

Sapulpa is 740(Route)66

This new exhibit explores Sapulpa's downtown, Route 66, and the Crossroads of America.

Sapulpa's downtown is the heart of Sapulpa. Its expansion of businesses, "small skyscrapers," interurban trolley, and the iconic Mother Road has placed Sapulpa on the map! Sapulpa refers to itself as Crossroads of America because Route 66 (connecting U.S. east to west) and as well as Alt-US 75 (connecting travelers in America north and south) travels through our town.

Explore this new exhibit, learn how Sapulpa grew and transformed, see how the Bunion Derby (Trans-American Footrace of 1928, a promotion for the new highway) connects with not only Oklahoma, but Sapulpa, itself.

Join us Tuesday, May 5th, 10am, not only for this new exhibit, but also for the Sapulpa's Great Route 66 Giveaway, at 11am!
