ABOUT THE ROSE DISTRICT

Much thought and consideration goes into the naming of a destination in hopes of creating an image in the mind and emotional response from those that hear it.

When city leaders wanted to name the rezoned portion of downtown Broken Arrow to an arts and entertainment district, they chose to honor a rich heritage from a city founded in 1902.

Early civic leaders saw the need to beautify the city’s original landscape of sparse prairie land and called on residents to adorn it with bushes, trees, and flowers. Rose bushes were a popular choice and soon travelers nicknamed Broken Arrow the “City of Roses.”

Today, civic leaders are once again transforming the landscape by reviving the historic downtown area to breathe new life into the heart of Broken Arrow and return it to a gathering place for all residents.

The Rose District has undergone a four million-dollar makeover providing a pedestrian-friendly space to better accommodate events with fewer traffic lanes, wider sidewalks, mid-block crossing and comprehensive landscaping. Come visit an award winning Main Street and enjoy great shopping, excellent dining, and entertainment all in a setting in which over one hundred strands of roses call home. We are a city in bloom, visit soon! 

The Rose District is a collaborative public/private partnership that has breathed new life into Broken Arrow’s 100-year-old historical downtown core. Community leaders sought to create a downtown district that would provide a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere, unique dining experiences, and boutique shopping that would draw residents and visitors alike. The resulting vision is now the Rose District, a thriving arts and entertainment district that is home to retail, restaurants, entertainment, and more.

The Rose District came to fruition through a $5MM streetscape renovation that brought wider sidewalks, mid-block crossings, planters adorned with roses, and outdoor dining areas that create a pedestrian and business-friendly atmosphere. The Rose District is also home to several museums and art galleries, a 1500-seat modern performing arts center, a pavilion that hosts our summer farmers market, workout classes, movie nights, and much more.

We look forward to sharing with you the beauty and excitement of the Rose District and hope to see you soon!

Military History Center

112 N Main St, Broken Arrow, OK, USA

918-794-2712

In the early 1990s, a collection of military artifacts was gathered in a classroom at Memorial High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Col. Robert W. Powell. Col. Powell retired from the United States Air Force after a storied career, including his service as a glider pilot during WWII. Col. Powell and others founded the Memorial Veterans Association in 1996 as a group of committed patriots eager to maintain a deep respect for military history. While the collection was moved from Memorial High School to various locations in Tulsa, Col. Powell’s passion for the mission never wavered. In 2012, the City of Broken Arrow offered the Center’s current location on Main Street in the Rose District as a permanent home for the collection. The City of Broken Arrow worked diligently to prepare the building and volunteers were committed to display the collection with appropriate respect and honor. On Veterans Day, November 11, 2014, the Center celebrated its first anniversary in the current location. Today, while the name has been updated over time and the collection has grown tremendously, the mission has never changed:
