After winning the race, the plane was retired to Woolaroc and Phillips had a special hangar built for it. Okla. Matthew Wilson of Tulsa knew what he was seeing when he walked into the museum at Woolaroc. Matthew thought it was, but his excitement was something the late Woolaroc founder Frank Phillips was striving for when he first opened his ranch to the public in the 1920s. It s a great place for kids, said Matthew s mother, Teresa Wilson. Matthew got to see a peacock strut and shimmy and he loved it.
Kids love to see all the animals.
Matthew s father, Mark Wilson, said he enjoyed the Native American art in the museum. It s at least as good as the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, he said. Even in the museum, Matthew was loving it. He enjoyed petting the animals in the animal barn as well. It s really neat and interesting, Mogus said.
