20th Anniversary for the “Round Barn”, Arcadia, OK.

Established in 1902, Arcadia is a small, peaceful town located just east of Edmond, OK. A cattle farmer by the name of William Odor donated 80 acres of land to be used for the town of Arcadia. His plan was for the town to also include a railway station which would allow him to be able to transport his cattle by train to market. Unfortunately, most of the town burned down and was never rebuilt. One of the main structures that survived was a giant round, red barn. The “round barn” remains standing today and is a focal point for the town of Arcadia. For more information, call 396-0824 or visit arcadiaroundbarn.com.
