Golden Driller

Golden Driller

The 76 foot tall Golden Driller was originally built, and temporarily displayed for the 1953 International Petroleum Exposition then permanently constructed in 1966 for the same event as a tribute to the men of the petroleum industry. There is rumor that it is the largest free-standing structure in the world but I cannot confirm that. I can say that it is definitely worth a picture or two. The odd statue is situated in front of QuickTrip Center, site of the Tulsa Fair.
