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.
