Travel to Oklahoma

Oklahoma is a located in the south-central region of the United States. Its nickname is the "Sooner State", and is part of a region commonly known as the American "Heartland." The Sooner State has more man-made lakes, stronger thunderstorms and natural gas than just about anywhere else in the country.

For Rodgers and Hammerstein, it's the place where the wind comes sweeping down the plain. Merle Haggard was proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, while Okemah's Woody Guthrie claimed this land was made for you and me. Oklahoma can proudly point to Gene Autry, Roy Clark, Hoyt Axton, Garth Brooks, David Allen Coe, Joe Diffie, Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, Roger Miller, Hank Thompson and Bob Wills as major influences on America's country music.

Oklahoma City is the state's capital and largest city. Easily accessible, Oklahoma City sits at the intersection of two major Interstate highways: I-40 from the east/west, and I-35 from the north and south, making it a must stop location on any trip through the area. With the overall weather conditions varying year round, it is never boring. Will Rogers once quipped, "If you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait a minute and it'll change." It’s not just the weather and history that make this city so appealing. There are a host of attractions, events, and things to do as well.

Situated along the routes of cattle drives and a destination for white settlers during the Oklahoma Land Runs, the state developed a combination of Western and Native American heritage that played a large part in its cultural development. The Gilcrease Museum of Tulsa is home to the largest, most comprehensive collection of American Western art and artifacts in the world. Today, the state contains more native American tribal headquarters than any other state, as well as the nation's second largest American Indian population.

Because of Oklahoma's central location in the United States, the cultures of the Midwest, the Southwest, the West, and the Southeast all have a distinct impact. For example, Guymon, in the state's panhandle, hosts one of the largest rodeos in the nation, typifying western Oklahoma's Southwest cultural influence. Meanwhile, Northeast Oklahoma is influenced in large by midwestern and western cultures, while Southeast Oklahoma is known as Little Dixie because of its heavy southern cultural influence. Most of Oklahoma, furthermore, shares some degree of Native American cultural influence, dating to pre-statehood Indian Territory. The various government sponsored arts, community, and tourism programs emphasize Oklahoma's Native American heritage heavily.
