Will Rogers Memorial Museums


Rental of Facilities for Special Events

The Will Rogers Memorial Museums, both the main museum in Claremore and the Birthplace Ranch near Oologah, are designed to preserve and perpetuate the life and legacy of Will Rogers, while also offering the citizens of Oklahoma access to public programs and programming opportunities.

We encourage you to consider either of the Museums as the site of your next special event. The facilities and grounds of the Museums are ideal venues for weddings, dinners, receptions, and meetings. You and your guests will enjoy the uniqueness and ambiance of an evening in the beautiful and famous Will Rogers Memorial Museum or an afternoon on the vast grounds of the living history Birthplace Ranch with its spectacular views of lake and woods.

As museums our policies and requirements necessarily differ from those of many other event venues, such as conference centers and hotels. Groups using our facilities must understand the physical impact that their event might have on the property, and they must respect its historical importance.

Please understand that events sponsored by the Museums or related to the Museums receive priority in scheduling. The Museums are not available as a regular meeting place for clubs, organizations, or other groups and are not available during the days of the Will Rogers and Wiley Post Fly-In (usually the weekend nearest 15 August), Will Rogers Days (usually the weekend nearest 4 November), and during meetings of the Will Rogers Memorial Commission (usually on a Sunday in April, June, August, and November).

To book an event at either the Will Rogers Memorial Museum or the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch, please read, complete, sign, and submit the Special Events Policies and the Facilities Rental Agreement.
