They're opening the Woody Guthrie Center this weekend!!

From This Land press:



The time has finally come: A portion of the archives of legendary folk singer/songwriter Woody Guthrie—including the original, handwritten version of Guthrie’s landmark anthem, “This Land Is Your Land”—will be available for viewing at the grand opening of the Woody Guthrie Center in downtown Tulsa starting this weekend.

In 2012, The GRAMMY Museum teamed up with Woody Guthrie Publications to host a comprehensive centennial celebrations for Guthrie, The Woody Guthrie Centennial Celebration. Designed to celebrate Guthrie’s body of work and impact on American music, the year-long celebration included a host of tribute concerts, educational curricula, lectures, conferences, a touring exhibition, and more. Part of the excitement was the announcement that Guthrie’s archives would be moving from New York to downtown Tulsa.
The museum, which opens at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, at 102 East Brady, measures 12,000 square feet and will feature state-of-the-art, interactive exhibits on Guthrie’s life, art, and creative legacy. It will also house Oklahoma’s only permanent exhibit on the Dust Bowl.

The Woody Guthrie Center’s permanent exhibit on Guthrie will feature selections of original items from the Woody Guthrie Archives, including Guthrie’s handwritten copy of “This Land Is Your Land,” along with lyrics, artwork, photographs, personal notebooks, letters, postcards, and some of his rare, never-before-seen musical instruments. The exhibit will also feature objects from some musicians who were influenced by Guthrie, including Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Pete Seeger, John Cohen, and Jimmy LaFave.

The Woody Guthrie Archives were brought to Tulsa by George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF), who purchased them in 2011 from Woody Guthrie Publications in New York.

The Woody Guthrie Archives contains more than 10,000 items of primary and secondary source material, including more than 3,000 song lyrics, rare books by and about Guthrie, more than 700 pieces of artwork, letters and postcards, manuscripts and personal journals, more than 500 photographs, handwritten songbooks, Guthrie’s annotated record collection and personal papers detailing family matters, his World War II military service and musical career.

Also included in the Woody Guthrie Center is an exhibit that will include a five-minute excerpt of the documentary series by Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan, The Dust Bowl. The film chronicles the environmental catastrophe that, throughout the 1930s, destroyed the farmlands of the Great Plains. The environmental disaster was the inspiration for many of Guthrie’s songs.
The center will feature an extensive outreach and education program that will take Guthrie’s story to schools across Oklahoma. There will be a series of concerts to bring his music and his legacy to those who visit the center. The center will be operated in conjunction with the Woody Guthrie Archives, along with the Los Angeles-based GRAMMY Museum.

The center’s hours of operation will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. On the first Friday of each month, hours will be 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for youth ages 5–17. Children under 5 are admitted free.

And she won't spend her entire tenure in pointless squabbles with the Council.

Bartlett sucks! I hope Tulsa will never again elect someone based on their father's name (yeah, I'm talkin' to you, LaFortune)

Oh here we go! That would be a must-see if/when I came to Tulsa. I'm surprised that there was no museum or memorial for the Dust Bowl; perhaps people just wanted to forget.

I've always wondered if any of Guthrie's homes, like his childhood home, were still standing.

Thanks Rusted we are in the middle of it right now. So far so good! 5 storm cells lined up all possible tornados with them, first one just hit, no biggie just small hail and wind, calm before the next one hits right now, about 20 min. One down 4 to go. Just talked to TheDivaHrself she's good so far!
