Two of Oklahoma’s historical treasures, Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve in Bartlesville and Will Rogers Memorial Museums in Claremore and Oologah, announced today a new membership alliance for the benefit of their members. Any member of either museum (at the $100 level and up) will automatically have admission privileges to the other at no additional charge.
“Several years ago, Woolaroc entered into an alliance with the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City and Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa. Having the same relationship with the historical Will Rogers Memorial Museums made great sense to us and provides another excellent benefit to our members,” said Woolaroc CEO Bob Fraser.
Tad Jones, Executive Director of the Will Rogers Memorial stated, “We are excited about this opportunity to work with Woolaroc and provide our members and theirs this great benefit. Bob and I see this as a wonderful opportunity for our members and museums.”
