    The Outsiders is one of my favorite books and movies…read more I knew some of it was filmed on location in Tulsa, but I didn't think the house where Patrick Swayze famously performed a handstand out front was still there. It is - and so is the extra pole that was added to the fence after it buckled during the first take. The inside is quaint, semi recreated and jam packed with memorabilia from the film. I loved the bedroom that recreates the setting where Ponyboy read Johnny's letter, which inspired him to write his English essay. I also loved all the random movie posters, candid photos and movie costumes - especially the autograph wall. The volunteers - who are strategically stationed around the property are the best. They're happy to talk all things book, movie and Tulsa related. If you're nice - they'll tell you about Crutchfield Park, which is just down the street and where the Greaser / Soc rumble was filmed.

    The Outsiders House Museum is a Tulsa gem, especially considering its modest size. Though not very…read morebig, it's packed with interesting memorabilia from the movie that will keep you engaged as you wander through. The best part are the volunteers. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do and they are eager to share stories and little-known facts about the history behind the movie and exhibits. Their passion really brings the place to life. While we were there we met some fans who had traveled from out of state just to visit. We also chatted with the photographer who was a neighborhood local at the time of the filming and happened to capture behind the scenes photographs on set. He now sells photographs onsite and had some fun stories to share. Parking is convenient with a small lot out back, but if that's full, there's usually plenty of street parking nearby. There is a great little gift shop to check out before you leave as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

The second exhibit is a chronological history which is pretty good. The 1920s exhibit is what turned me off about the museum. There are some limited exhibits upstairs which reflect on the house itself.

The museum itself isn't large, but there is a wide array of information available here. There's a room dedicated to the Tulsa Race Massacre, another exhibit dedicated to Tulsa restaurants, a small gallery featuring some local art, and more. My favorite room featured lots of little knick-knacks, an informative digital reference option about the definition and history of lynching, as well as public health history. (Notably, this room also has a KKK member's cloak and hood; it has blood on its collar. Please tread carefully if this kind of exhibit is painful for you.) You could easily spend an hour or two here looking around and reading the vast array of history provided at this institution. The cost to attend for adults is $10 but, as aforementioned, it's free for students (even out-of-state students!). Take advantage of all the resources here at the historical society and spend a day here and at the nearby garden center. The Philbrook is also not far!

I would recommend checking it out and you do not have to be a 'sewer' to enjoy it. The owner has a program where school kids come in and he trains them to make different things.

The elegance and form of sewing machines of yesteryear are a far cry from the design of products made in recent history. It seems the art in design has been cast away and maximizing profit by making things requiring frequent replacement is the norm these days. But enter the Vintage Sewing Center and meet the person that can still make these old machines run like new. WK is that rare story teller that captures your interest and holds it for hours telling the history of countless machines on display at this magical collection. While we were there another couple came in and showed WK photos of a machine their mother had. WK told this couple all sorts of things about the machine, just from looking at the serial number. Needless to say they were very moved by what they heard and we were impressed just eavesdropping on the story. This is an unexpected gem in Tulsa and well worth the visit. It's a great place to have sewing parties for children, and learn about all kinds of sewing. No charge for admission but well worth dropping in a generous donation.
