Your key cities for this approximately 800 mile journey would be Oklahoma City, Tulsa Oklahoma, Wichita Kansas, Omaha Nebraska. There's a well-hidden charm in Kansas called the Brookville Hotel. It is an original Western building which is famous for family dining. Without a doubt, it is worth the visit.
Omaha can sometimes get a little sensitive when asked what there is to do there. However, they are correct in saying the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium are worth the visit. If you like the vanishing vistas of the american railway system, then a visit to the Union Pacific Museum is also a nice visit. After that, it's more or less down to visiting Boy's Town Children's Home, an insurance company, or the shopping centre. There's a film starring Jack Nicholson and Kathy Bates called 'About Schmidt' which will give you an accurate overview of life in Omaha.
In Tulsa the Gilcrease Museum features the largest collection in the world of Art from the American West.
In Wichita, consider Diamond W Wranglers, located at Old Cowtown Museum, along the scenic Arkansas River, the Diamond W Chuckwagon is held in the Empire House Theatre. The food is served on tin plates, the music is fun and it's worth a stopover.
Your journey will provide an interesting, if not somewhat monotonous vista of fields and fields. In fact, if you find yourself on a curve in the road somewhere along the route, you'll be so excited you'll want to go back and do it again. Don't let this deter you however. The people along this route are lovely and it remains to this day, quite unspoiled.
