Arcadia Round Barn
Arcadia, OK
A true round barn from 1898, restored by local volunteers. The loft hosts dances and a small museum.
The Arcadia Round Barn in Arcadia (Oklahoma) is a round barn from 1898 right on historic Route 66. The farmer William Harrison Odor built it from oak boards that he soaked while still green and bent into shape; the roof is about 60 ft (18 m) across. When Route 66 was routed past the barn in the 1920s, travelers stopped for photos.
The roof collapsed in 1988. Volunteers led by Luther Robison rebuilt the barn, and the restoration was finished in 1992. Today it is a well-kept landmark; according to Atlas Obscura, a visit is free, and the upper level can only be reached by stairs. From Interstate 35 you drive about 6 miles (10 km) east on Route 66, passing Pops 66 on the way; the barn is on your left as you enter town.
