The Will Rogers Memorial Museum in Claremore welcomes visitors Wednesday, November 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with free admission and cupcakes offered. The date marks Rogers’s 147th birthday—and the anniversary of the memorial’s opening to the public.
The date connects Rogers’s life to the museum’s beginnings
William Penn Adair Rogers, later known as Will Rogers, was born near Oologah in Indian Territory on November 4, 1879. The museum’s public opening also took place on November 4, in 1938, three years after Rogers died.
Betty Rogers, the Oklahoma Legislature and thousands of individual donors helped establish the memorial. That history makes the birthday visit more than a seasonal celebration: the date links Rogers’s life to the public institution created in his memory.
