Experience a unique glimpse into the life of vaudeville performer, famous actor, Cherokee Cowboy and American humorist Will Rogers (1879-1935) at the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch, with its historic Greek Revival house and 162-acre working ranch. Here, visitors can enjoy the lovely view over Oologah Lake and picnic with friends and family. The log-walled, two-story home where Rogers was born was built in 1875 within the Cooweescoowee district of Cherokee Nation. The home was designed in the vernacular Greek Revival style of architecture that was popular throughout the South at this time. Today, the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch features a historically accurate barn with a climate-controlled classroom and a historical video program. The working ranch is home to Texas Longhorn cattle and other livestock.Experience a unique glimpse into the life of vaudeville performer, famous actor, Cherokee Cowboy and American humorist Will Rogers (1879-1935) at the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch, with its historic Greek Revival house and 162-acre working ranch.
