It was also nice to be out of the heat. There were two photos that, taken together, don't seem believable as described. According to the captions, one was taken of OKC April 22, 1889, and the next on May 13, 1889 - just 3 weeks later. Not only has an entire city appeared in 3 weeks, but additional rail lines, and an outhouse added in the foreground. What really seems implausible, though, is a massive pile of dirt in the first photo has disappeared 3 weeks later, with no sign it was ever there - even the grass has grown back perfectly. In three weeks. I'd love to know how the dates were authenticated. We can learn a lot from our elders, so I really enjoyed the quotes and photos of people who had made it to be 100 years old. We entered through a door in a parking garage, but there's an escalator right up front in the BancFirst building that's probably easier to find. I'm attaching photos.

Our tour guide, Anitta, was great! She was very fun and shared great tid bits of history and info. We went at 4:30 on a Saturday and our ride was perfect - not too packed as compared to other times. I definitely would recommend purchasing a ticket, at minimum, a couple hours or even days prior to going. I could see this being much more popular in warmer months. It was already very popular at the beginning of April on a colder day. Overall, if you are checking out the Bricktown area and want a fun activity to do, check out the water taxi! it's only 30 minutes and you get to see the whole area and then some!

We started in the old barn, where both employees & several volunteers were there to give us a quick run down of the family & what to expect. Then, we were led to the house & given the opportunity to explore! Each room is opulent with painted ceilings, ritzy carpets & very fancy furniture from the late 1800s. The history is amazing & was so fun to learn about. The volunteers were wonderful & knew a LOT of great facts. We LOVED our time & are hoping to return around Christmas.

Especially in terms of classical beauty and architecture. It looks old and yet new. It's different... but the same. Oh wait I was channeling Bill & Ted.

I don't get tired of driving around the back streets of this neighbourhood and seeing this gorgeous building. And there's computers... and SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!

I used their bike on the history tour but brought my bike on the Halloween/Haunted House tour Their bikes are a great and comfy hybrid style with lights and bells; all of the needed safety items. They also offered helmets if you don't bring your own. As a cyclist I totally recommend some light fingerless gloves in case of a fall, because sometimes falls happen... even when stationary Their knowledge of edificial architecture and history with the State's growth and economy during the formative years was impressive. I really enjoyed the format with riding and listening to music, chatting with other bikers, and interacting with other -estrians and motorists The halloween/haunted house tour was so fun. The weather was so beautiful this night. It wasn't a typical end of October night where it's usually super cold or the first freeze for the end of the year. The tour guide knew all of the spooky stories. Oklahoma unfortunately has a sordid history with its establishment and economic development, so I am sure there are many stories that can be added to this event as the years go on and stories come to light I look forward to a brewery tour and other riding events, but I think this is a great activity for anyone and undoubtedly so for a group

This is one of the Crown Jewels of Route 66 in Oklahoma…read more You know I'm gonna back up that claim. But first, did you know the longest stretch of still-drivable Route 66 is in Oklahoma? In the last few years I've driven on short parts of what remain of Route 66 in all the states it passes through westward, from Missouri to California. From what I've seen, no state celebrates the Mother Road better than Oklahoma. And the beautiful Arcadia Round Barn is one of the most memorable stops on Route 66 as it passes through Oklahoma. If the first thing you want to know is Why is the barn round?, you're going to find out inside. You'll learn that the earliest Round Barns were constructed by the religious group known as The Shakers. And you'll learn how much easier Round Barns are to build (requiring as few as two men), and how much more economical they are than rectangular barns. The barn has two levels. The top floor originally was used to hold feed, and has a built in door in the middle of the room so the feed could be gravity fed to the animals below. These days the top floor is empty, and is rented out for weddings and whatnot. The bottom floor is chock full of local history. The volunteers that run the Round Barn have created kind of a time capsule you can walk around in. There are artifacts collected over a hundred year time frame. Everything from a High School Graduating Class project that documented the lives of the area's earliest settlers, to the farming implements and household tools they used in their daily lives. In addition to all the vintage Americana, there are plenty of examples of work by local contemporary artists for sale, as well as the usual Route 66 souvenir items you see for sale at just about every stop along the highway. This was my second visit to the Arcadia Round Barn. This time I spent about a half hour walking through the place. I spent far longer on my first visit. After I had a good look around I struck up a conversation with the volunteer that was working that day. I was looking to buy some Route 66 stickers and she told me where to find them. They had just what I was looking for. I paid the lady and I was out the door. A minute later I was in my car, back on 66, headed for my next adventure. Mikey C says: Come check this place out! It's such a treasure!

It's a pretty awesome building. There is a lot of history in side as well as a lot of things for sale. Some antiques and some tourist stuff. The grounds are really fixed up nice.

Just so happened where I grew up there was a round barn tht I had photographed before it collapse. I was able to provide them with a nice picture and the pertinent info. It is still in the road barn photo album they have inside. Always a good stop. It's warm inside especially if it's hot outside.

You can also learn about the five Land Runs in Oklahoma, how OKC managed to become the state Capitol, famous gangsters like Belle Starr, and so much more. The Museum is a cool escape from the hot weather, and if you are looking for some cool state gifts, you will find them here.

The museum itself is very interactive. It is laid out very nicely and you could easily spend 2 to 3 hours in her going through everything if you took your time.
