In 1918, The Wigwam began as the Organization House as lodging for ranch suppliers. These guests
suggested that it would be a great place to spend a winter vacation, as
did Goodyear executives who sometimes brought their families when
visiting the farm. On Thanksgiving Day, 1929, The Wigwam officially
opened its doors as a guest ranch with enough rooms for 24 guests. The
first nine-hole golf course was built in 1930, expanding to 18 holes in
1941. Although this resort and hotel in Litchfield Park has steadily
grown over the past 85 years, a portion of the original structure, The
Organization House, remains as the cornerstone of The Wigwam’s
authenticity and southwestern charm.
We are pleased that they will be a part of the new cookbook, Tastes & Treasures, A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona Volume II.
