Introduction

Tulsa is still reaping the benefits of rapid economic growth that began in the early 20th century. On June 25, 1901 when drillers struck oil in Tulsa, the city's growth and development increased significantly - oil tycoons were quickly drawn to Tulsa to take part in the wealth. The city has continued to progress, and today it is Oklahoma's second largest city. The many parks and gardens around Tulsa not only make it a nice looking city, but they have also earned it the nickname "Green Country". Tulsa is home to a number of cultural attractions: one of Oklahoma's finest museums is the Gilcrease Museum, which displays more than 10,000 American West artworks dating from colonial times to the present, as well as an archival and anthropological collection. The Philbrook Museum of Art is an Italian-Renaissance villa that is surrounded by gardens and holds a varied collection of artworks within.
