Join us as we break ground on a new 20,000-square-foot facility on Friday, August 14 at 12 p.m. followed by a wreath laying at the tomb at 1 p.m.
Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Matt Pinnell and Oklahoma Historical Society Executive Director Trait Thompson will speak, followed by museum director Tad Jones and Rogers family representative Jennifer Rogers. After the groundbreaking, there will be refreshments and a viewing of the building plans, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at the tomb at 1 p.m.
Visitors can also view two brand-new exhibits in the museum, including “From Lariat to Mallet,” which highlights Will’s love of polo, and “A Word With Will,” a hands-on experience that lets visitors call Will Rogers on a 1920s-style telephone.
