This well-produced video is situated at the historic Round Barn in Arcadia, Oklahoma, but focuses more on the Route 66 landmark’s longtime host, Mr. Sam.

Alas, Mr. Sam resigned as chairman of the Arcadia Historical Society in March. But I get the impression Mr. Sam won’t stay away from the barn for long.
The Round Barn was built in 1898 by William Odor. The roof collapsed during the 1980s, but a group of local volunteers restored it in 1992. The site is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Mr. Sam was by far our favorite personality we met on the road. He was so fun and energetic. Loved that guys passion.
