Wickenburg Historic Tour

Thanks to organizers Mary and John Garbaciak, the bus to Wickenburg was full, lunch at Rancho de los Caballeros was delicious and everyone came home with lots of interesting history of mining in the area. Stops included Vulture City Mine and exhibits at the Western Museum.

The first thing the Wickenburg miners saw coming out of the mines was this building. Note the sign "DOCTOR". He was mostly for injuries. The middle of the building was for food. A miner had 20-minute shifts to eat! And then the "BROTHEL". Some women/girls were 13 and 14 years old.

Historical League tours are educational events bringing us together to experience the past.

Mary Garbaciak comments, "The person in the picture with me is Richard “Dick” Fredrickson, the Resident Naturalist, at Rancho de los Caballeros.  He has been with 2 owners for the past 39 years. His knowledge of the Ranch’s history and surrounding area was most interesting. He spoke to our group during a fabulous lunch." He was presented with a copy of AZ Recollections and Reflections as Thank You.

Ramsey Canyon on Historical League tour

Ramsey Canyon tour with 40 from the Historical League - fascinating. Deer, Hawk's nest, hummingbirds, towering Cottonwood and Sycamore trees. Around 120 settlers lived there in 1890's looking for silver and planted apple, plum, apricot trees along with vinca flowres. Mr Ramsey started a toll road. Another developer had a dance hall over the creek bed in the 1920's where the Fort Huachuca band played.

Thanks to Claire Nullmeyer for these beautiful photos.
