Cyrus Avery Centennial Plaza
Cyrus Avery Route 66 Memorial Bridge Plaza
A plaza honoring the “Father of Route 66,” with a large bronze horse-and-carriage sculpture and the Route 66 bridge, a must-stop for road trippers.
Cyrus Avery, a Tulsa resident, championed the establishment of Route 66 and is known as its “Father.” The plaza sits at the east end of the 11th Street bridge over the Arkansas River and features a large bronze group showing the Avery family in a car meeting a horse-drawn carriage. A Route 66 themed footbridge crosses Southern Avenue next to the retired 11th Street Bridge. Admission is free, and across the river you can visit the Route 66 historic village to see oil derricks and old trains.
