Alsuma: The Ghost Town Inside Tulsa

Oklahoma has dozens of ghost towns and one of them is located between Tulsa and Broken Arrow. The long-forgotten town of Alsuma was consumed by the growth of communities around it. But the strongest remnants of the town are found in the memories of those who used to call it home.

My Dad was raised in Alsuma and went to school at Union, Granpa was Alfred Holland and had a farm next to the railroad track just east of Mingo Rd on 46th St. South. As you cross the track going east their farm was on the north side of the road. I remember Dad showing me the old house and farm back in the '50s, My dad was Gerald R. Holland and in 1965 we were the only Holland's in the Tulsa phone book and after I got married in 1966 we were the only two Holland's in the phone book. I was raised in Tulsa
