On the southwest end of town you find this Will Rogers Highway marker
on the narrow concrete median. This side quotes a simple "Best Town
in Okla" statement by Rogers. The other side of this marker simply
says "Will Rogers Hometown". This is the side you see when you
enter Claremore from the west on Route 66.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
