Once the land of cowboys and Indians, Oklahoma has kept detailed documentation of its cultural history in museums such as the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma also has two great zoos: the Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum and the Oklahoma City Zoological Park. With state parks, mountains, plains and forests, Oklahoma's landscape is almost as varied as its culture. The plains and mountains in West Oklahoma are a haven for outdoor recreational enthusiasts, especially in Fort Cobb Lake State Park. In East Oklahoma, you'll find the Woolaroc Ranch, Museum and Wildlife Preserve in Bartlesville.
