The Round Barn on Route 66 in Arcadia, Okla., was awarded a $2,500 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, according to a news release today.

The seed grant funds will be used to develop a preservation plan for the historical Round Barn. This report contains data, historical facts, photographs, drawings, structure assessment, video, and articles on the Round Barn which was constructed in 1898 by a very innovative educator and farmer, William Odor.  The barn was restored in 1992 by the efforts of Luke Robison.

Overseeing the grant will be the nonprofit Arcadia Historical & Preservation Society.
