  • We arrived within twenty minutes of closing. With that being said the woman working still gave all three of our kids their scavenger hunt paper, which helps to be more interactive within the building, and encourages reading about the different art pieces to help fill in the paper. We would definitely visit again to have more time to read around. The upstairs is breath taking. It's an awesome piece of history I hope continues to stay around. We were not rushed to be out, and we still got to see everything in a timely manner.

    Neat barn. The architecture of the roof when you're on the 2nd floor is incredible to see. They hold dances up there and you can rent the space for parties and weddings and such. I'm sure makes for a gorgeous venue. The first floor they have a thrift store as well as some history about the barn.

    We stopped here while we were parked at Pops a half mile down the road. the volunteer was very informative. it was very interesting to spend time walking around this place looking at yesteryear There’s plenty of room to park handicap, accessible and best of all it’s free. I would recommend this place to everybody get your kicks on route 66.

    We went today and took a look. I enjoyed looking at all of the old items on display. Two thumbs up. You can rent the top of the round barn for a wedding reception or some type of large gathering. It's restored very well. They had ample parking. It's worth giving it a look. It's a pleasant way to look at a by gone era. My wife got her Oklahoma passport stamped, made her day.

  • Fine to stop by if you are nearby but just don't expect too many barn related things you can learn here. The first floor is a gift shop and second floor is just an open space. They have restroom and free wifi.

    There’s a lot to do, really see, in Arcadia. Visit the Round Barn to see all the things inside & out. There’s a map of the town with historical buildings still in existence. Further west is Pop’s where you can buy all kinds of different colored sodas, different candy, shop the gift shop, and even dine in their cafe. Food is great. Heading east out past the Round Barn is an old gas station, and old western style town, and a historical marker of the eastern line of the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889!

    We visited the Arcadia Round Barn on a weekday in May, 2023. other than one person in the gift shop, there was no one there. The store person didn't say anything to us, so we just went about our business. We viewed the barn, but didn't know a lot about it. It is nicely built, with really nice acoustics. But we didn't stay long. The museum runs on a donation system. So maybe donate to the cause if you can. They have rest rooms in a separate building and a nice little area outside the barn. It's a nice place to visit.

    Red Barn is a Historic Building in OK you must visit. Built in 1896. When I walked into the bottom floor, it reminded me of the older days when time was slower and less hectic. Many nastalgic items to see and for sale. Then, heading upstairs to the top floor just sent me back on time. I could invision women square dancing with fancy outfits that match their partner, swinging and flirting with each movement. The smell and creaking noise of the top floor only enhanced my dream. But, the surprise is when you stand against the round wall, opposite from someone standing on the opposite wall straight across from you, and you whisper. They can hear you loud and clear due to the dome roof. So, say sweet nothings to that special someone and have a ball dancing away! Be sure to give a donation to keep the place going!

    Arcadia è uno dei borghi che fiorirono con l'arrivo della ferrovia in Oklahoma e, dagli anni '20, anche grazie al passaggio della mitica Route 66. Il vecchio fienile, edificato 125 anni fa, è sempre stato uno dei simboli più riconoscibile anche se la costruzione della nuova Interstate ha rischiato l'oblio, evitato grazie all'intervento di restauro del tetto da parte di alcuni volontari, avvenuto negli anni '90. Nel nostro epico viaggio in macchina dalla costa est alla costa ovest incontriamo il Round Barn provenendo da Devenport e, naturalmente, facciamo una sosta per le foto di rito e per una breve visita al gift shop per prendere qualcosa da portare a casa a testimoniare il nostro passaggio sul vecchio percorso della Route 66! La visita al piccolo museo racconta dell'epopea dei viaggiatori che la percorrevano da Chicago verso la California, prima spinti da una migrazione verso migliori condizioni di vita nel Golden State e poi dal nascere e crescere del turismo che, seguendola, potevano visitare i grandi parchi, le riserve indiane dei Navajos, fino a giungere alle sabbie finissime di Santa Monica sul Pacifico.

  • Always fun to see the different stops along route 66. Loved that we found the Oklahoma passport books here, as a cute keepsake. Lots of history to look through and very easy on the budget.
