Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Holidays

Oklahoma City is the capital of Oklahoma. It's known for its cowboy culture,the capitol complex and is pretty much surrounded by working oil wells. The reflecting pool and empty glass and bronze chairs of the Oklahoma City National Memorial recall the victims of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The Survivor Tree, an American elm nearly destroyed in the attack, is also part of the memorial.

In the city centre, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum displays Native American and pioneer art, plus cowboy memorabilia.
