Literary Landmarks: Will Rogers Birthplace

Will Rogers Birth Place Built in 1875, the house is an example of the vernacular interpretation of the Greek Revival style of architecture typical throughout the South. Located on Dog Iron Ranch, it is a log-walled, two-story post-Civil War home where Will Rogers was born November 4, 1879, son of a Cherokee senator, judge and cattleman. For fifteen years, the house was the seat of power and site of culture. When Mary Rogers died in 1890, Will's father, Clem Rogers, moved to Claremore. The home is authentically conserved and open to the public.
