Will Rogers said, 'Of all the places in the United States,
Woolaroc is the most unique.' The country estate of oil baron Frank Phillips,
founder of Phillips Petroleum Company, got its name from the woods, lakes
and rocks that are indigenous to the area. This rustic environment
served as a one-of-a-kind entertainment venue. 'Uncle Frank' hosted
U.S. Presidents, wealthy Eastern investors, dignitaries, Indians, tycoons, movie
stars, lawmen and outlaws alike on his sprawling ranch southwest of Bartlesville.
From early spring to late fall, the North Road Tour features a five-mile drive
through some of the most beautiful portions of the Woolaroc preserve. This tour
includes a stop at an authentic restoration of an 1840s Trader's Camp where true
to life mountain-men offer a glimpse of early settler living. Experience nature’s
beauty while smelling the clean, fresh air of the Osage Hills and listening to
the peaceful sounds of the streams running through this 3,700 acre wildlife preserve.
And don’t miss the museum, which houses over 55,000 pieces including some
of the Southwest’s greatest collections of western and worldwide art, relics
and exhibits that tell the alluring story of the American West. An outstanding
regional attraction!
