Woody Guthrie Center

A memorial to Woody Guthrie, the father of American folk music, featuring his manuscripts, paintings and guitars and the story behind “This Land Is Your Land.”

Woody Guthrie was a folk singer from Oklahoma, famous for “This Land Is Your Land” and his Dust Bowl ballads. He influenced a generation of musicians, including Bob Dylan. The center opened in 2013 and displays his manuscripts, paintings, guitars and an interactive music exhibition. Visitors can also learn about the history of the Dust Bowl era. It is located beside Guthrie Green in the Arts District, next to the Bob Dylan Center, so the two are easy to visit together.
