Code:
f = open("C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Python\sitelist.txt", "r")
list = f.read()

var=StringVar ()
var.set ('Click to Select Site')
sitelist = OptionMenu (root, var, *list)
sitelist.pack (fill=X,padx=10)

Code:
with open(r'C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Python\sitelist.txt') as f:
    sites = f.readlines()
var=StringVar ()
var.set ('Click to Select Site')
sitelist = OptionMenu (root, var, *sites)
sitelist.pack (fill=X,padx=10)

readlines() loads the file into an array, instead of read() which it loads the file as a string.
list is already used by Python as something else, I would avoid it.
"\n" can cause problems since it represents the end of line, use r'' for raw.
with open() takes care of the maintenance associated with opening a file.
