Best things about Sapulpa
The Buffalo Statue
Celebrating Oklahoma's 100th Year of Statehood.

Heart of Route 66 Auto Museum
Nostalgic museum with lots of classic cars and old-time gasoline pumps.
Rock Creek Bridge
An authentic segment of Route 66.

A pretty lake with a 1 mile walking trail.

Buy
Shop Frankoma Pottery Factory Outlet
Once Oklahoma's most famous pottery company and one of a few in the country with its own clay on the site of the Kiln, Frankoma closed its 9549 Frankoma Road factory in 2010. There is a strong aftermarket for the pieces as collectibles. An attempt was made in 2012 to revive the brand on a very limited scale; products were available locally or ordered on-line from Houston TX.
