Today we did some things on Route 66 between Tulsa and Warwick and then returned to Tulsa for the night because quite a few things in this section are closed on Mondays and we plan to visit them tomorrow.

We started our day with breakfast at Ollie’s Station Restaurant, which has model trains everywhere.

As we entered Sapulpa, we stopped at the Guardian of the Plains.

We also stopped at the Sapulpa Community Unifier Statue.

Next we got coffee at CTX Coffee.

We then visited Bridge No 18 at Rock Creek.

Our next stop was at Gasoline Alley Classics for the downtown Sapulpa stamp in the Oklahoma Route 66 passport and learned about the building’s history as the Sapulpa Motor Company that assembled and sold Ford Model Ts.

We then visited the Heart of Route 66 Vintage Market, where I found a glass owl that I am going to use with Wingspan.

For lunch, we ate at Il Gusto.

Before leaving Sapulpa, we made a quick stop for the stamp at Happy Burger. If we weren’t so full from lunch, we probably would have got shakes - maybe tomorrow.

Our next stop was at the Bristow Historical Museum & Depot.

We then continued on Route 66 to the Seaba Station Motorcycle Museum as our final planned stop of the day.

As we headed back to Tulsa, we made several photo stops. The first stop was at the Chandler Community Unifier Route 66 Shield Monument.

Nearby they also have recently added a giant - 66 Man.

In Davenport, we found their Route 66 Centennial Monument.

Also in Davenport, we took photos of the Historic Sinclair Station.

As we went back through Bristow, we stopped at the Chrysler Tower Plaza.

Our last stop on our way back to Tulsa was a quick photo of the Kellyville Route 66 Sign.

We started our day on Route 66 in with breakfast at a diner in Tulsa, but we waited until Sapulpa to get coffee at CTX Coffee, which is located in the downtown shopping area that historic Route 66 goes through in Sapulpa.

I got a Harvest Moon Latte (honey, orange, rosemary). I was glad to be able to get decaf after the last two days our coffeeshop picks did not offer decaf.

Dad got their Uganda Medium Roast drip coffee.

Our Route 66 Daily Journal: September 27, 2026

Today was spent just in Tulsa visiting three museums and some other Route 66 things.

We started our day with coffee at Doubleshot Coffee Co.

While driving to our first museum, we founds a Route 66 themed penguin that, of course, we had to go around the block and come back to stop at for photos.

Our first museum of the day was the Greenwood Rising Black Wall Street History Center.

Next we visited the Bob Dylan Center.

We then went next door to the Woody Guthrie Center.

Our next stop was at the Gathering Place, which is a park area in Tulsa that currently has a Route 66 exhibit and some Route 66 themed art on display.

Next we parked at the Cyrus Avery Centennial Plaza, so that we could walk across the river under the bridge and visit the Route 66 Neon Sign Park.

Back in the car, we drove across the Southwest Bridge westbound and then turned around to do the Musical Road that plays "This Land is Your Land" in one of the eastbound lanes.

We then turned around again to go to the Crystal City Shopping Center, which is the west gateway to Route 66 in Tulsa and has The Tulsa Tablets of Time giving some of the history of Tulsa.

Our last stop of the day was at Tulsa's Will Rogers Highway Marker.

Today we backtracked on Route 66 do see a few more things in Catoosa, OK, and then spent the rest of the day in Tulsa.

We got our morning coffee at Lucidity Coffee.

Next we explored Rogers Point Park, where some parts of one of the Twin Bridge that used to carry Route 66 over Bird Creek are preserved.

We then visited the Blue Whale of Catoosa.

As we drove Route 66 through Catoosa on our way to Tulsa, we found the Catoosa Route 66 Community Unifier Monument.

Our first stop in Tulsa was at the Tulsa Fire Station 66 to get their stamp in the Oklahoma Route 66 passport.

Next we made an unplanned photo stop at an old Sinclair station.

We then made a quick stop at Circle Cinema. We visited this last year and just wanted to get the stamp in this year's passport.

For lunch, we at Akira Sushi & Ramen inside the Mother Road Market.

After lunch, we made a quick stop at The Church Studio for the stamp. As it was kind of chaotic with an event going on, we decided to not pay the $15 per person to do the tour.

Next we visited the The Outsiders House Museum.

As we had a lot of time left before our evening plans, we decided to go to the Meadow Gold District and find all the giants in the Land of Giants today instead of tomorrow when we would have had more limited time to do it.

In the evening, we saw Disney Pixar's Cars at the Tee Pee Drive In in Sapulpa, OK.
