Once home to Tulsa’s first lakeside amusement park, the Swan Lake neighborhood is rich with charm, history, and transformation. See the former grounds of Orcutt Lake Amusement Park—where early 1900s visitors rode roller coasters, swam in a covered pool, and enjoyed dazzling electric lights at the end of the trolley line. Learn how this once-bustling destination gave way to a quiet, picturesque residential area, and how the lake itself shaped the district’s rise, fall and remarkable revival. Today, Swan Lake is a beloved historic neighborhood with stories as captivating as its scenery. 

 

Tour stops include:

• Swan Lake & Cherry Street History

• Oil Baron's Mansions (Skelly Mansion)
