Fans can look off of the porch and gaze into the sunset like Ponyboy would have, and go into the room where he reads the bittersweet letter from his best friend. The museum’s extensive memorabilia collection contains artifacts like wardrobe from the film, posters and books from around the world, and a green towel autographed from Sodapop himself (Rob Lowe). The house was privately owned for many years, and had started to fall into disrepair. In 2016, the musician Danny Boy O’Connor purchased the building.

Currently, the only way to visit museum is by buying tickets to a guided tour. The tour consists of the house and a bus ride around the city to other filming locations. Tickets are available online and cannot be purchased at the house itself. If you happen to visit on a day where a tour is not offered, you are still encouraged to take photos of the exterior and can walk onto the porch. Down the street from the house is Crutchfield Park, where the infamous fountain scene took place.

After extensive renovations to restore and maintain its authenticity from the film, it opened to the public on August 9, 2019. In the early ‘80s, Oscar winning director Francis Ford Coppola came to Tulsa, OK to catapult S.E. Hinton’s memorable characters off the pages of The Outsiders book onto the big screen. Rather than use a Hollywood back lot, the film maker and crew transformed an ordinary Tulsa neighborhood into a fully functioning movie set.

Hinton, it tells the story of a group of young working class men (the “greasers”) and their feud with the rich, privileged kids from the other side of town (the “Socs,” short for Socials). Two greasers, Ponyboy Curtis (played by C. Thomas Howell) and Johnny Cade (played by Ralph Macchio), become involved in a murder, and the repercussions affect everyone involved. “They came through and were fans as well,” O’Connor said, noting that frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has ties to Oklahoma – his mother is from the Sooner State. Still, when he would crisscross the country on tours or just traveling, he’d always make a beeline for Oklahoma. This corner across the street from Boston Avenue United Methodist Church is where the bus mirror almost knocked Two-Bit in the face. The Outsiders House Museum is dedicated to the preservationof the home and memorabilia used in The Outsiders, filmedby Francis Ford Coppola in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1982.

DiCaprio, who was in northeast Oklahoma for filming of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” showed up to the Outsiders House during business hours and took a tour in July. He has since been photographed at other museums in the area, including the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

I had become friends with a few of the actors who portrayed those villains, so it would make me feel a bit skeevy to have to place their portrayals in any sort of preferential order. I was also blessed to have voiced two classic Batman villains in the recent animated films, so there was the additional risk of being perceived as showing favoritism among those. Also collected are photos and postcards showing the streets and buildings of Tinseltown during its heyday.

As progress toward the museum’s grand opening continues, we will add more information to the FAQ’s section. Please check back for additional questions, answers and updates. The building was in disrepair when O’Connor bought it back in 2015 after visiting the tenants and tracking down the owner. Before he embarked on the project, he hadn’t been sure what he was going to do next, having plowed through most of his savings. Now, O'Connor is preparing for a showing of a 4K Blu-ray edition of the film, part of a weekend of events of this Saturday and Sunday.

Then, film crews, a developing lab, and a gym where actors could bulk up and trim down. The Outsiders House Museum was created by Danny Boy O’Connor, formerly of the hip-hop group House of Pain. It’s been a labor of love for O’Connor, who bought the house several years ago and renovated it. To stay true to the novel, the film was shot on location in Tulsa. The house where the Curtis brothers quarrel and bond with each other and the rest of the greasers is now the home of this museum. If the phrase “stay gold” means something to you, you might recognize this house.

The museum provides an intimate look into the characters and themes of S. E. Hinton’s classic work and film adaptation, featuring the painstakingly restored house and extensive collections. The director and film crews departed, the actors and props scattered, and the local extras went back to their day to day lives. But, on a quiet Tulsa street corner, the iconic “Curtis Brothers House,” the modest bungalow where the scrappy, close-knit Greasers lived, loved, fought and reconciled, remained a tangible testament to the cinematic legend. Burgess was well-known for a wide variety of other monumental film and television performances (Of Mice and Men Twilight Zone, etc.).

He put out the word to fans of The Outsiders, asking for donations to begin the project. After years of renovations, obstacles, and setbacks, the museum opened to the public in August 2019. DiCaprio, who was in northeast Oklahoma for the filming of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” showed up to the Outsiders House during business hours and took a tour in July. Guests will then arrive at The Outsiders House Museum, where you will be invited inside the historic Curtis Brothers home, to view our extensive collection of memorabilia from both the Coppola film and the Hinton novel. Restrooms, refreshments, and gift shop are all located in The General Store at the museum. As a cost-cutting measure, the costumers were forced to use a series of modified translucent Halloween masks to facilitate False Face’s multiple disguises.

Enjoy this amazing piece of iconic American film history and "stay gold."
