CLAREMORE, Okla. – Gazing out
from atop a hill from one end
of Claremore, the Will Rogers
Memorial Museum has been
the main cultural shrine and final
resting place of Oklahoma’s most
treasured son since 1938.
More than just a figure from
the Indian territories known
for saying, “I never met a
man I didn’t like,” Will Rogers
transcended stage, screen, radio
and print media to go out on to
represent the pulse of a nation.
While many Oklahomans may
think of Rogers as his bumbling
ranch hand persona, Rogers
spoke universal truths across an
array of media of his time while
rubbing his commonsensical
cowboy philosophy off on any
world leader he’d meet - and
there were many.
Established about three years
after his tragic death in a plane
crash, the Will Rogers Memorial
Museum became more than a
place for visitors to pay their
respects to Rogers’ remains.
The 19,000+ square foot facility
feels as though the old cowpoke
himself may saunter coyly down
the hallway at any moment.
The grounds exist as a place
to learn and honor his legacy
with a variety of exhibits and
multimedia presentations that
enable every chapter of Rogers’
life to come alive in their fullest
detail for visitors of every age
and background. Visitors can see
many pieces of art inspired by
Rogers, see a replica of his office,
the interior of his Californi a
ranch home, and see many
different films about Will in a
variety of theatres within the
museum.
Coming in 2018 are a vast array
of events through Will Rogers
Museum for the entire family
to enjoy. Every summer in June
at the Will Rogers Birthplace
Ranch in Oologah, the Will
Rogers Memorial Museums
present their Frontier Days
Kids Camp - a day camp that
allows children to experience
what life was like in 19th-
century Indian Territory through
a variety of activities ranging
from period-correct chores and
other activities. In August, the
ranch will sponsor the Will
Rogers & Wiley Post Fly-In - an
event where a variety of historic
planes will make a special
landing near the ranch.
For additional information
about the Will Rogers Memorial
Museums, make sure to log on to
