The Frank Phillips Ranch was founded in 1925 and the Woolaroc Museum had a humble beginning four years later in 1929. The 3,700 acre wildlife preserve is home to more than 30 varieties of native and exotic animals and birds. It is a working ranch that maintains the animals for the enjoyment of our guests in a natural, protected setting. The Woolaroc Museum presents one of the world's most unique collections of Western art and artifacts; Native American pottery, baskets, beads, blankets and cultural art; historical displays; and one of the most complete collections of Colt firearms. Guests can also tour the Lodge, which was used as a place for Frank Phillips to entertain his friends and maintain business relationships. The Lodge abounds with tales of the parties, business events and wilder goings-on.

Take a trip back in time...to the days where Frank Phillips was walking the grounds of his famous wildlife preserve. Woolaroc has a great museum full of Native American artifacts and Frank Phillips' own oil boom days treasures. Drive through the wildlife preserve to see buffalo, deer, llamas, etc. There is a special petting zoo area for kids to see a variety of kid friendly animals, Also, there is a little snack bar, picnic area, and playground.

OUTSTANDING TOUR! We were fortunate to have the head of Tours and Education of this amazing building, Price Conner, as our guide. Terrific! Price is an architect himself, and his insight, stories, history and anecdotes of this Frank Lloyd Wright 1950s skyscraper and the plaza around it will just make your day. Unusual building, and visiting the Lloyd-Wright, Taliesin-designed community center next door will satisfy your FLW fix. Absolutely worth visiting - this was my 2nd visit and I'll return. Well done, all!

This top floor treasure may have an unusual location for a museum but it is filled with interesting and informative exhibits. Extremely well presented exhibits include permanent and new items. Nice Gift Shop. Take the elevator to the 5th Floor and enjoy!

The Bartlesville Community Center is a wonderful location for events and performing arts. They host several Broadway touring productions over the year as well as several local arts performances. The space is great for weddings, special events and meetings with a wide variety of space available. There seems to always be something happening at the BCC and the beautiful architecture makes it one of the most unique venues in Bartlesville. The staff is friendly and helpful and the rental fees are very reasonable. Thinking about a small get together? The balcony is one of my favorite places to attend an event! And the rental fee is very affordable! Also, because of the great architecture you can request a tour of this building. It's fun to see all the nooks and crannies of this architectural masterpiece.

What an amazing story! Well preserved house with many original furnishings. Terrific access to kitchen and bathrooms and upstairs. The family had a tremendous story which was outlined in the adjoining museum. The tour guide was inflexible to answer questions or stray from script. Would have been nice to hear and the family and their history rather than some of technicalities. The adjoining museum and gift shop was well maintained with friendly staff. Tour size was limited due to Covid. The Phillips family have a tremendous story to tell. So glad their history is preserved. Highly recommend.
