Lake Sahoma, just southwest
of Pretty Water, provides
fishing from the dock and
access for boats. Crappie,
bass, perch and catfish are
abundant. A new RV park was
recently added directly
across from the lake.
Heyburn Lake, 20 minutes
southwest of Sapulpa, is a
Corps of Engineers project
and offers camping, fishing,
hiking and swimming.
Lake Keystone, northwest of
Sapulpa near Mannford,
offers similar amenities,
but also has boat docks and
storage space available. A
great variety of birds can
be found in the area, and
eagles are often seen from
the shores. Sapulpa now has
a newly remodeled Senior
Center and Community Center,
that is available for rental
and services for the
community and our Senoir
Citizens. The restored
Sapulpa City Library, one of
the original Andrew Carnegie
Libraries, offers books on
every imaginable subject.
One of the library's claims
to fame is the Genealogy
Division, attracting people
from across the country.
The three-story Sapulpa
Historical Museum located
downtown has many
photographs of the early
history of Sapulpa. In
addition, it houses early
telephone equipment, World
War memorabilia and various
era dolls. The Annex,
located near the museum,
houses an antique fire
engine that usually makes an
appearance in the annual
Christmas parade.
While visiting Sapulpa's
historic downtown area you
will find several business
buildings and churches that
date from the 1920s. Ghost
Signs lend a historical
touch to downtown. These
signs, funded by local
school children and private
donors, are reproductions of
commercial advertisements
painted on the sides of the
building on which they
originally appeared.
