This plaque commemorates the first oil well in Tulsa County. The well
was less than a half mile from this spot along Route 66.
This
marker is just west of Ollie's Restaurant. There is no parking on the
site of the marker, but it'd a short walk from Ollie's.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
