Visit the Will Rogers Memorial Museum. It's a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the life and legacy of Will Rogers, America's favorite satirist and cowboy poet from the Great Depression era. Will Rogers originally purchased the 20-acre land as a retirement estate but unfortunately passed away shortly after. Today, the Memorial Museum houses the world's most extensive collection of Will Rogers memorabilia, including his entire collection of writings. In fact, in 2015, Gordon Kuntz generously donated the second-largest collection of items to the museum, which includes one-of-a-kind movie posters, movie stills, books, correspondence, and much more. You can easily spend hours touring the museum and learning about Will Rogers' life, wisdom, and humor.
The Woody Guthrie Center offers an immersive experience into the world of the legendary singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie. Visitors can listen to his recorded songs, read his lyric journals, and even create their own music. Additionally, the center features exhibits, archives, and research areas for further exploration. Visitors can also learn about the rise of contemporary DJ culture in New York City and the significant role that women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community played in shaping this new form of music-making and melting pot social experience. Woody Guthrie's music celebrated America's beauty and abundance while seeking the truth about our country and its people. Through his simple songs, he conveyed complex ideas about democracy, human rights, and economic equality to all Americans. Woody Guthrie's music provided a voice to those who carried a heavy burden or had faced hard times, inspiring hope and strength.
