The Arcadia Round Barn really is quite the sight to see. Located on Route 66 in the heart of Arcadia, The Round Barn is one of our nation's unique landmarks.

A quick afternoon trip - it's 20 minutes to downtown Guthrie from Edmond.  Stroll the streets, visit a couple of antique shops and enjoy the quaint historic architecture.  Born of the Land Run in 1889, this dusty prairie stop along the AT&SF Railroad became a city of over 10,000 people in a single day.  Built to Victorian elegance, the magnificent architecture of Oklahoma’s first State Capital, still stands today as a National Historic Landmark.   History is brought to life each day on Historic Trolley Tours and in places like the Oklahoma Territorial Museum, Oklahoma Publishing Museum and the Frontier Drugstore Museum.

Located on more than 100 acres in NE Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma State Capitol is the only capitol in the world surrounded by working oil wells. One is even named Petunia #1, because it was drilled in the middle of a flower bed. The architecture is Greco-Roman and the structure comprises 650 rooms and 11 acres of floor space with murals, restored stained glass, tribal flag plaza and changing art exhibits. The current site was chosen in 1915 and construction was completed in 1917. Construction of a dome was completed in 2002, a feature that was included with the original design plans of the building but never completed. The Oklahoma Veterans Memorial is also located on the North side of the capitol complex. Four walls depicting the scenes of WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam wars are featured, along with a bronze statue of "The Big Guy" who stands eight and a half feet tall on a three and a half foot pedestal. His bronze face has the features of a Native American and he wears the gear of a Vietnam soldier.

Self-guided tours are available Mon-Fri 8am-5pm and Sat-Sun 9am-4pm. Monday through Friday, trained volunteers conduct informative 45 minute capitol tours at 9am, 10am, and 11am and 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. If there are more than 10 people in a party interested in taking a tour, please call the Oklahoma Tourism & Recreation Department's Call Center at 1-800-652-6552 and make a reservation. Additional contact number for State Capitol information: 405-522-5173.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City lies a lush oasis of verdant hills, winding paths and soothing waters.  This 17-acre greenspace is home to landscaped lawns and colorful formal gardens, all surrounding a two acre sunken lake teaming with golden koi.

The Garden's focal point is the Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservancy, one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.  This year-round tropical retreat is home to over 2,500 exotic plants from around the globe, including palms, bromeliads and a dazzling array of eye-popping orchids. A suspended skywalk bridge catapults visitors above the rain forest canopy affording a breathtaking view of the vibrant colors and cascading waterfalls below.  Plants aren’t the only things to call the Crystal Bridge home. Lizards, fish and butterflies are among the creatures that dart, swim and flit throughout the Crystal Bridge’s tropical environment. Their free reign means guests never know when a lizard might peek out from a rock or a butterfly might land gracefully on a petal.
