Claremore Oklahoma Route 66 Photography
Claremore is known as the home of Will Rogers, a cowboy, a movie star, a pilot, author and newspaper columnist and radio personality. The Will Rogers Memorial Museum and Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch preserve his legacy.
During the drilling of a test oil well in 1903, an artesian mineral water flow was struck and visitors soon arrived to seek the radium water’s supposed healing powers. Claremore was incorporated on May 2, 1903. It was designated the Rogers County seat after 1907 statehood, and the Oklahoma Military Academy was established there in 1919. Construction on the present Rogers County courthouse, a project assisted by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), started in 1937.
The J.M. Davis Arms and Historical Museum houses over 20,000 firearms and firearm related items. The Davis Museum contains guns from all around the world including Kentucky rifles, a Gatling gun, black-powder guns of all types, cannons, rare Colts, Winchesters, elephant, whaling, and outlaw guns.
