[1]Added to NRHP: September 29, 1970 The Dog Iron Ranch, located about two miles east of Oologah, Oklahoma, United States, is the historic ranch of humorist Will Rogers. The ranch was donated to the state of Oklahoma by the Rogers family. The current ranch contains 400 acres (1.6 km2) of the original 60,000 acre (240 km²) ranch operated by Clem Rogers.
The house where Will Rogers was born was relocated to its present site on the ranch due to construction of nearby Lake Oologah.
The ranch is open to visitors daily from dawn to dusk. Admission is by voluntary contributions.
