WOOLAROC

FRANK PHILLIPS HOME

Woolaroc was established in 1925 as the ranch retreat of oilman Frank Phillips. Located just outside of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, the ranch is a 3,700-acre wildlife preserve, home to many species of native and exotic wildlife such as bison, elk and longhorn cattle. The Woolaroc Museum houses an outstanding collection of Western and Native American art and artifacts, one of the finest collections of Colt firearms in the world and so much more. The expansive grounds offer both a nature trail and living history area, inviting you to experience the natural environment of Woolaroc and life in a pre-Civil War 1840s mountain man camp.

The name Woolaroc is derived from three words: woods, lakes and rocks, the nature that makes up the surrounding Osage Hills of northeast Oklahoma. Although the name was originally intended for the rustic lodge ranch house, it was so unique that it soon became the name for the entire Frank Phillips ranch.

Woolaroc has something for everyone.

Will Rogers once said, “When you are visiting the beauty spots of this country, don’t overlook Frank Phillips’ ranch and game preserve in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. It’s the most unique place in this country.” If there is one last underdiscovered treasure left in the United States, it surely must be the place called Woolaroc.

Woolaroc embodies the natural environment, cultural heritage, history and early values that made America great.

Visiting Woolaroc is certainly a diverse and unique experience to be enjoyed by the entire family.

Frank Phillips visited Bartlesville in 1903 to assess the business potential of the surrounding oil fields. After a series of failures nearly causing him to abandon the oil business, a string of 81 straight strikes ensured his success. By 1909, he had completed construction of – what is now known as – the Frank Phillips Home. Until Frank’s death in 1950, this home was the setting from which Phillips, his family and his contemporaries played a key role in the development of the oil industry in America.

By 1930, this 26-room neoclassical mansion had been remodeled twice and had undergone extensive interior decoration. Nonetheless, it retains the graceful external lines of the original design and a majority of the original furniture, decor and personal effects.

Through the home’s authenticity, you can step back in time and experience the home life of one of America’s most fascinating oil men.

The fully remodeled, detached garage showcases an expanded exhibit highlighting the humble beginning, family life and the many philanthropic endeavors of the Phillips’ family, along with information on Phillips Petroleum Company.

A stroll around the grounds will reveal how graciously this elegant home still fits, nearly a century later, within the town setting it did so much to create.

The Frank Phillips Home is on the National Register of Historic Places and was featured as one of HGTV’s Christmas Castles.

MARLAND’S GRAND HOME

E.W. Marland had made a fortune in the West Virginia and Pennsylvania areas only to lose it all in the panic of 1907. He came to Oklahoma in 1908 and began drilling for oil at the 101 Ranch, southwest of Ponca City.

Marland persevered, hitting his first big oil well in June 1911.

The construction of the Marland Grand Home began in 1914 and was completed in 1916. Unique for the time, the home included a central vacuuming system, an air conditioner, automatic dishwasher, detached three-car garage and the first indoor swimming pool in Oklahoma.

At the time the Marlands lived in their Grand Home, E.W.’s net worth, not including his oil company, was approximately $30 million or over $500 million by today’s standards.

The Marland Grand Home now houses exhibits on the Marland family and Marland Oil and includes American Indian artifacts of the Plains tribes, 101 Ranch and Wild West Show items and a Daughters of the American Revolution display area. His wife, Virginia, passed away at the Grand Home in June 1926, never to see the completed mansion.

E.W. MARLAND ESTATE Marland modeled his dream home after the Davanzati Palace in Florence, Italy. Breathtakingly beautiful, this “Palace on the Prairie” pays incredible attention to detail with intricately carved wood, sculptured stone, wrought iron railing and arched doorways, handpainted and gold-leaf ceilings and Waterford crystal chandeliers. In many ways, it mirrors the Renaissance villas that E.W. Marland so admired in Europe.

Today, Marland’s gracious home and grounds continue to provide the backdrop for lavish galas, balls, weddings and festivals.

The Marland Mansion and Estate, as featured on A&E’s America’s Castles, boasts 44,000 square feet spread over four floors, complete with 13 bathrooms, three kitchens, seven fireplaces, a leather-lined elevator and an elegant ballroom with a 24-karat gold leaf-covered ceiling valued at over $1.9 million.

The workmanship and beauty throughout provide an aura of grandeur, impossible to reproduce today. The mansion is a National Historic Landmark, one of only 20 in Oklahoma.
