Route 66 Historical Village, is growing into a major Mother Road attraction, showing all the types of transportation that helped Oklahoma become the Oil Capitol of the World. The Village started with North Americas tallest Oil Derrick, then Frisco 4500 Meteor a landmark steam engine that once moved passengers and freight through Tulsa, Tulsa Pullman Coach, rolling stock including a Caboose, and a large Route 66 Shield. All easily viewable from space.

"The Centennial Derrick, North America's Tallest Derrick.
The Centennial Derrick, built by a local steel contractor and constructed by Oklahoma craftsmen and funded by the Oklahoma Centennial Commission in celebration of Oklahoma’s Centennial Celebration in 2007. This centerpiece of the Village, rises 154 feet high, making it North America’s tallest derrick.
Frisco 4500 Steam Engine.
Our Frisco 4500 was a landmark steam engine that once moved passengers and freight through Tulsa. In 2003, the City of Tulsa published in the Tulsa World an article requesting bids on a used piece of equipment. Members of the Townwest Sertoma Club took on the project to restore the engine to exhibit condition. Six years later the Frisco 4500 was returned to West Tulsa. Its final destination is the Route 66 Village."
