Red Barn Redux Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

dpo: I've believed for some time that the container here is actually a drop cache because people didn't see the actual hide being a magnetic under the LPC not just laying there when they lifted the cover.

Also, since the city removed the restored neon sign from Fremont St that used to be here quite a while ago, there is really no need to guide people here to see it. Thanks for all those who found it over the years-

Geocache Description:

Another historic location in Vegas you didnt know about.....

If needed, feel free to replace a full log with an appropriate size piece of paper- Thanks

I placed this cache on the original location of the Red Barn after seeing the restored neon sign downtown- I am a big supporter of the Neon Museum and the historic preservation they do for the city and residents of Las Vegas.

This is a quote from the plaque posted next to the sign:

"The Red Barn began its existance in the late 1950's as an antique store at 1317 east Tropicana ave. In the early 1960's new owners converted it into a bar that became popular due to its proximity with the new university on Maryland Parkway. By the end of the decade, the bar had become a favorite entertainment spot for Las Vegas' emerging gay community. The Red Barn closed in 1988 and owner Claude Howard donated its classic cocktail glass sign to the allied arts council."

Photo is of the Red Barn sign that used to be just north of Fremont Street on 3rd. after being restored to its original circa 1962 beauty.

There is nothing left of the building, the property is split between a car wash and a taco joint.

BYOP, parking available, watch out for muggles
