Will Rogers Museum Gets Major Expansion | Tulsa News
Description
Will Rogers’ legacy is about to get a major upgrade as the Will Rogers Memorial Museum in Claremore, Oklahoma, unveils its biggest expansion since 1938 — a stunning 20,000-square-foot, three-story addition designed to preserve history, boost visitor experiences, and protect priceless artifacts. With state funding and nationwide donations, the new wing will house climate-controlled storage, modern offices, and an event center with panoramic views of Claremore. The existing museum gets a fresh entrance, expanded gift shop, and accessibility upgrades. New exhibits include interactive “talk-to-Will” zones and his love for polo, while traveling exhibit space will bring his story beyond town. Construction wraps by November 2027 — all while the museum stays open. This isn’t just renovation — it’s a bold step to ensure Will Rogers’ voice echoes for generations.
