Woolaroc (short for Woods, Lakes, and Rocks) is located on 3,700 acres in the Osage Hills of Northwestern Oklahoma. Originally the ranch retreat of oilman Frank Phillips, of Phillips 66 fame. Phillips turned the grounds into a wildlife preserve for over 30 species of animals both native and exotic.
