Rogers County Holds Dedication Ceremony For Their New County Courthouse

The great-niece of Will Rogers was on hand as Rogers County dedicated its new courthouse in downtown Claremore Friday. 

Coke Meyers spoke to a crowd gathered on the courthouse plaza. They celebrated the $20-million courthouse voters approved in 2009. 

A county judge calls the new building a gem of the community.

"We think enough of what goes on here - our court functions, our county functions - that we believe and invest in it," said Sheila Condren, Rogers County District Court Judge. 

The old courthouse was built in the 1930's, and was torn down and replaced with a parking lot.
