HISTORICAL RT. 66 ROUND BARN


"HISTORICAL RT. 66 ROUND BARN"

4X7 inches, watercolor, 140lb. DeArches paper.


This Round barn is located in Arcadia, Oklahoma. Northeast of Oklahoma City, about 20 miles.

It was a favorite resting stop for travelers along Route 66, between Tulsa and Oklahoma City.

It also served as a social gathering place in the 40's and 50's for parties, dances, and any other community functions.

You could see the army looking helmet, top of the barn, from quite a distance as you approached from the east. The barn is only about 10 miles east of the city of Edmond, Oklahoma.
