4/30/09 - Will Rogers Memorial Museum

Since we left Arizona on April 13th, this is the first day that we have not been with people that we know. We decided to drive up to Claremore, OK (about 25 NE of Tulsa) to tour the Will Rogers Memorial Museum and birthplace and learn about his life, wisdom and humor. We did not realize that he made over 71 motion pictures. We watched a video of his trick roping abilities and were amazed what he could do with a lariat. The downstairs was a huge hands-on Children's Museum....wish we would have had the grandkids with us....they would have loved this stop! Will Rogers was a multi-talented and historically significant individual. And guess what....it started raining on us as soon as we got to Claremore.
