Many thanks to Danny O’Connor and Ashley Beck for hosting AWC Tulsa at the The Outsiders House Museum!

We loved hearing Danny’s story - how he was inspired to start the museum and how the museum is now inspiring so many young people to read the classic coming-of-age story written by Oklahoma’s own S.E. Hinton.

The house where the movie was filmed makes it all come to life! We enjoyed seeing the props and costumes used in the actual film. It’s a must-see if you haven’t visited yet!
