Golden Driller
A golden statue of an oil worker about 23 meters tall, the official monument of the State of Oklahoma and a symbol of the oil capital.
The Golden Driller stands in front of Expo Square, about 23 meters tall, with its hands resting on a real oil derrick. It was built in 1966 for the International Petroleum Exposition and was designated the official monument of the State of Oklahoma in 1979. Photos are free, and you can easily reach it from the Route 66 11th Street section. The area is packed during the Tulsa State Fair every October.
