Hello there! If you love Tulsa and it's rich history, then you should enjoy my blog because so do I!

I am a 2nd generation Tulsan, 3rd generation Oklahoman. My grandfather (mom's dad) worked for the city as an engineer from 1922 until 1964 and my g-g-uncle (dad's side) was the 4th Governor of Oklahoma.

I was a volunteer (aka Guardian) at the Tulsa Historical Society and have been privileged to help out with research as well as develop some educational programs that are taken out into the community. I absolutely love research and decided to share some of my findings here back in 2007. While I no longer am active at the museum or in blogging, this site is left up as a resource to homeschoolers and other private schools who still teach local history. I hope you enjoy this blog and find it useful.
