Flower Power: City hopes a new mural will draw even more tourist stops to Sapulpa

A new mural on Route 66 near the Rock Creek Bridge is turning a few more heads these days, thanks to some tree-trimming done last week to help make the painting more noticeable to those traveling the Mother Road. The painting is a beautiful rendition of the state’s wildflower, the Indian Blanket, and sits just off of Ozark Trail, on what was formerly a stark (and largely hidden) water tower.

Sapulpa City Manager Joan Riley has been leading the charge in seeing this project to fruition, and she says she is “so pleased with the reaction the public is giving.”
