From the Archive – Philbrook Museum of Art

Time has gotten away from me this past… month… so I dug through my old photos and found a few I wanted to share.  These are from the outside garden at the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, OK. I had the chance a few years ago to visit this wonderful museum in the spring,…

Back to John’s Place – Final Part

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about John’s OK County 66, but I wanted to share one last set of photos showing some more points of interest on the property. Inside the museum, there are a few upstairs areas you can visit.  One of them includes a full front section of a Volkswagen Beetle…

Adventures on Route 66 – Lost Toys

Today, I decided to do something different and explore along Route 66, which runs through Edmond.  In doing some research, I found out about John’s OK County 66, which is just outside of Arcadia along the road.  It was a place I realized I’d heard about and possibly seen photos of, but had never been.…
