First: unless you signed a contract stating no travel, word of mouth from an interviewer is not enough cause it is your word vs theirs and they have been with the company longer then you have.
Second: Get local legal advise.they may say contact legal advisors from the companies home state.
Third: follow what the legal ppl tell you. Not internet friends.
This pede is dead on, whenever you interact with HR, remember they are not on your side, they are only there to save the company money. Use that knowledge to shape how you speak with them.

Hope you resolve this problem in your favor.
It was in writing, I'm just looking for legal advice on how best to talk with HR
Ask HR to clarify your position in writing in light of your signed contract. Don't ask anything else and don't supply your opinion.
Ask them to supply their answer within 10 working days as you require the written confirmation to present to your legal counsel.
If your contract is as you say, HR will make the whole thing go away to avoid an issue with the court, as otherwise you might be able to sue.
