Rogers's California home, stables, and polo fields were preserved from 1944 to 2025 for public enjoyment as [[Will Rogers State Historic Park]] in [[Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles|Pacific Palisades]]. His widow, Betty, willed the property to the state of California upon her death in 1944, under the condition that polo be played on the field every year; it is home to the [[Will Rogers Polo Club]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.willrogerspolo.org/polo.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090429120453/http://www.willrogerspolo.org/polo.html|url-status=dead|title=Will Rogers Polo Club|archive-date=April 29, 2009}}</ref> The house and stables burnt down during the [[Palisades Fire]] on January 8, 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Palisades Fire Destroys Historic Homes and Buildings at Will Rogers State Historic Park and Topanga State Park |url=https://www.parks.ca.gov/NewsRelease/1346 |access-date=2025-01-08 |website=California State Parks}}</ref>

Several schools have been named for him: Will Rogers Elementary School in [[Santa Monica, California|Santa Monica]], Will Rogers Elementary School in Ventura, middle schools in [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]] and in [[Fair Oaks, California|Fair Oaks]].

[[Will Rogers Memorial Park]], a small park at [[Sunset Boulevard]] and [[Beverly Drive]] in [[Beverly Hills, California|Beverly Hills]], was named after him, as is [[Will Rogers State Beach]] in [[Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles|Pacific Palisades]].

[[U.S. Route 66]] is known as the Will Rogers Highway; a plaque dedicating the highway to the humorist is located at the western terminus of Route 66 in Santa Monica.

The [[California Theatre (San Bernardino)|California Theatre]] in San Bernardino is the site of the humorist's final show. He always performed in front of a special jewelled curtain and had two of them. While he was using one, he would send the other to the site of his next performance. The curtain used in his final show was retained by the California Theatre. Two memorial murals by [[Kent Twitchell]] were installed on the exterior of the fly loft. The California Theatre named one of its reception spaces the Will Rogers Room.
