Christmas Open House: A Gene Autry Christmas
Thursday, December 12: 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Did you know that Gene Autry worked at Sapulpa's depot?
The Christmas Cowboy co-wrote and sang Christmas songs that we still cherish today - such as Rudolph (Red Nose Reindeer), Frosty the Snowman, Here Comes Santa Claus, and Up on the House Top.
In a way, you can say that dear ol' Rudolph is from Sapulpa!
We will have hot apple cider, desserts, and wonderful docents to greet you during your tour of Sapulpa history.

We have begun our next project. A local artist, Kenneth Hollingshead, has painted the Black-and-White murals on the front of the Sapulpa Historical Society & Museum's building. Another local artist, Russell Crosby, has painted the Color mural on the west end of the Sapulpa Historical Society & Museum's building. We have seven murals of historic images in Sapulpa.
We celebrated turning the big 5-0 on August 25, 2018. We hosted our very own birthday party with food, cake, guest speakers, and a huge crowd eager to learn the history of this great town! In 1968, we started in a small room of the Y.W.C.A., and within fifty years, we not only own the entire building, we expanded to the whole block; we opened the Sapulpa Fire Museum and the Waite Phillips Barnsdall Filling Station.
