Will Rogers Memorial Museum

A memorial in Claremore on Route 66 dedicated to Oklahoma’s most beloved cowboy humorist.

Will Rogers was a cowboy, film star and humor columnist of Cherokee descent. Route 66 is also known as the “Will Rogers Highway.” The memorial museum is in Claremore, about 45 km northeast of Tulsa. It displays Rogers’s roping props, film clips and saddle collection, and Rogers himself is buried here. It can be combined with the Blue Whale of Catoosa for a half-day Route 66 trip.
