The Tulsa Foundation for Architecture and Leadership Tulsa are publishing a booklet about the city’s historic neon signs, including many on Route 66.
The booklet, “Tulsa Vintage Neon Signs,” will be distributed during a release party at one of the sites of a historic sign, El Rancho Grande restaurant on Route 66, at 5-6:45 p.m. Sept. 14. Tickets to the event are $15, and include the booklet.
TFA also recently completed a survey of the city’s neon signs, thanks to a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Ruth and Allen Mayo Fund.
According to an article in the current print edition of the Tulsa County News, the neon-sign booklet was inspired by the restoration of the historic Meadow Gold sign on Route 66.
