The Round Barn has a fascinating history! It was built in 1898 and restored in 1992. The location website below does a wonderful job of telling about the history of the barn and monumental efforts to restore it.
Today the barn houses a Rt. 66 museum and also sells unique $1 hand-made items by Butch, the gift shop/museum worker. He can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the barn's history!
Groups can rent out the upper level of the barn, and it is a great place to host events. Visitors to the loft will be astounded by the view of the ceiling as well as the views of the local area from the windows along the wall. One local school hosts a Cotillion dance here annually, with a DJ, western theme, and catering. The kids love it! It's such a casual place, and the wooden floors and walls make for a unique event.
