Our visit

Woolaroc is Frank Phillips’ ranch retreat in the Osage Hills, and its museum holds one of the finest Colt collections in the country, along with a Winchester rifle collection. The tour video and photos below are from the visit.

Some of the earliest revolving-cylinder repeating firearms made in the United States are on display, and the collection moved to a larger gallery in 2015. Plan time for the wildlife preserve drive as well.
