DESCRIPTION: Step into one of Tulsa’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods—the Blue Dome District! Known for its iconic blue-domed filling station, this area offers a fascinating glimpse into Tulsa’s evolution from an oil boomtown to a hub of modern culture.
Join us as we explore the district’s rich history and architectural heritage, as we hear tales from a time when brothels were legal but liquor was not. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of resilience, innovation, and the people who shaped this beloved district.
Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply love exploring Tulsa’s unique charm, this tour is a must!
