Circle Cinema, 10 S Lewis Ave, Tulsa, OK 74104
Did you know that Route 66 attracts thousands of visitors every year from all over the world? Heritage tourists like to stay longer and spend more time and money locally than any other type of tourist. There’s a lot to see on the Mother Road from Illinois to California, so how can we attract these visitors to Tulsa? Come hear Kaisa Barthuli, Program Manager of the NPS Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program, and Amy Webb, Senior Field Director for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, about opportunities for the preservation of Route 66- enhancing community revitalization, improving economic development, and increasing tourism along America’s iconic Route 66.
