Great museum inside & outside as well. It's changed so much from last time I was here & definitely for the good. I was here back when I was college in the mid 90's. So glad I was able to come back & see such wonderful changes. Bringing the grandkids allowed me to tell them their Naynay was born & raised in Oklahoma which I'm very proud of. Bartlesville has always had deep & rich history of oil companies. Phillips 66 was the main one if I remember correctly. Many of the older displays have changed & like I said all for the better. Everything's much more updated & eye appealing. I especially loved all the Native American paintings & sculptures. I'm Chickasaw so anything to do with Oklahoma I. T. I have a deep appreciation for. Loved the western art as well. The painting of Will Rogers Oklahoma's native son is exceptional . If you're any kind of a history geek like me you'll enjoy this wonderful place. Was so pleased see you had some of Dean Mitchell's art display. Now that I'm back in Oklahoma I do plan to visit again. There's so much to see. We spent a better part of 3 hours walking , talking & observing. We actually brought a small picnic basket of food. I knew my 2 grands would be hungry after. I was delighted to see picnic tables that's a big plus if you have a child or even a children's group you'd like to take here The kids loved the live animals & outdoor displays. The view of river below is peaceful & so relaxing I could have easily spent the entire day here. Just way to much stuff to take in on one visit. The admission prices are very reasonable 2 adults & 2 kids cost less that $40. You can't go anywhere these days that admission will cost over $40 per person so it's easy on the wallet . Thanks Woolaroc for a awesome...
Read moreMy family, my parents (65, 60), my husband and I, our daughter (4) and son (14). Had a great experience, was greeted with friendly staff. Met Whooly Bill, and his camp, that was probably the most fun, learning the history and just hanging out.
My husband, dad, and son threw axes, and got to shoot a black powdered gun. As we left we had a herd of buffalo 🐃🐃🐃 meet us at our JEEP. The drive to the reservation was incredible! I won't even spoil that for those who haven't been. Then you get to the absolutely STUNNING museum 🎨
My three ⭐⭐⭐ is coming because as we were petting the animals in the adorable petting zoo, we saw the 10 goats 🐐, and all looked and felt very malnourished. Seeing their hips and every rib bone had me wanting to take every single one home. I was petting them and felt terrible.
If you are still reading thank you. You can go inside the barn and the first room is chicken coop or I should say "cock pin" cause they have 4 🐓🐓🐓🐓 ROOSTERS to 0 hens, as most people know roosters are very aggressive with other roosters, not besties. One of roosters was so aggressive that it had made a BALD spot on the littlest one 😢😣.
Next room was the goats.. they had one tiny bowl of feed absolutely not enough for 10 goats that are effing STARVING.. for as nice as this place is this is very disheartening and I REALLY HOPE someone does something about this. #helpthegoatsontheRESERVATION If you can't feed the goats then message me and I'll take those babies home with me
We will be back because it is such a magical place. I just want something done about the animals that look like they are definitely being forgotten about.
Thank...
Read moreMy grandfather, John Qua, Ryobi B-17" flying fortress" has co-pilot with Ellison Miles, pilot, and the crew that flew the 25 missions required in order to complete their service. One of the crew was killed, Winston Toomey, from flak, and my grandpa showed me what flag is when I was very young, sitting in the guest room of their home in northampton, there was a twisted sharp piece of metal with white paint on it, he gently show me how sharp it was and then told me his best friend was killed by this. I remember it like it was yesterday. My grandpa never ever talked about his service, despite all the commendations including the Distinguished Flying Cross and many others. All those medals and awards stayed in a closet for over 50 years. He was approached by some people that wanted to put together a book about world war II and the men and women that fought in it that were from northampton. They took his story down and had it typed up but my understanding is when he saw the typed version, he scrapped the whole thing . I started proud grandchildren of world war II veterans on Facebook in 2009. We helped people search for their relatives as so many bombing reports, planes, and specific names of soldiers began...
