The Santa Fe National Historic Trail runs through five states. The trail travels through the northwest corner of the state. No interstate is close to the area. The Trail of Tears National Historic Trail commemorates the relocation of the Cherokee people. The trail, which covers nine states, is in the eastern section of the state with Interstate 40 as the closest interstate. Chickasaw National Recreation Area is in Sulphur. This area is located in the southern section of the state and is just east of Interstate 35. Boating, hiking, swimming, fishing and camping are some of the available activities.
The Oklahoma City National Memorial honors the lives lost when the Oklahoma Federal Building was bombed in 1995. Each empty chair represents a life lost in this powerful display. Visitors can walk around the outdoor memorial. A museum is also on the grounds.
