Oklahoma City Travel Guide

Arcadia is a small city near Oklahoma City, located along the historic U.S. Route 66 corridor, a classic stop for experiencing the nostalgia of Americas Mother Road. Founded during the 1889 Oklahoma Land Run, the town was once an important agricultural and railroad transit point on the prairie. Arcadia is best known for a round red domed vintage roadside restroom with gas lamp styling at the north end of town, now one of the most whimsical photo landmarks along Route 66. The town retains nostalgic red brick buildings, vintage gas stations, and motels that carry the golden memory of mid twentieth century American road travel. With a slow pace and warm hospitality, just half an hour from Oklahoma City, Arcadia is an ideal destination for weekend getaways and road culture photography.
