Claremore, OK

Claremore is the county seat of Rogers County in northeastern Oklahoma, set in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. The area has Osage history, later Cherokee and settler history, and a downtown that serves as a regional hub northeast of Tulsa. Claremore is also strongly associated with Will Rogers, whose museum and memorial are among the city's most recognizable places. It feels like a Route 66-era Oklahoma town with hills, schools, rail history, and enough civic pride to stand apart from Tulsa's suburbs.
