Have you heard of the Rock Cafe in Stroud? This iconic eatery has been around since 1939 and has become a popular destination for Route 66 travelers. Despite facing a fire in 2008, the restaurant has maintained its historic charm with its original rock walls, foundation, and grill from WWII. The menu features unique items like the alligator burger, Reuben sandwich, and German jager schnitzel that keep customers returning for more. It's no wonder that the Rock Cafe has served many famous faces, including Robert Plant, Matt Groening, and Bryant Gumbel. The cafe was owned by Dawn Welch in 1993 and inspired a character in the animated film "Cars." If you're looking for some rural Oklahoma hospitality and a taste of history, the Rock Cafe is worth a visit.

Visit the Will Rogers Memorial Museum. It's a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the life and legacy of Will Rogers, America's favorite satirist and cowboy poet from the Great Depression era. Will Rogers originally purchased the 20-acre land as a retirement estate but unfortunately passed away shortly after. Today, the Memorial Museum houses the world's most extensive collection of Will Rogers memorabilia, including his entire collection of writings. In fact, in 2015, Gordon Kuntz generously donated the second-largest collection of items to the museum, which includes one-of-a-kind movie posters, movie stills, books, correspondence, and much more. You can easily spend hours touring the museum and learning about Will Rogers' life, wisdom, and humor.
