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.

Master Navajo Weavers

Master Navajo weavers can create amazing works of art. Our Historical League tour brought us to the Steve Getzwiller home and Nizhoni Ranch Gallery in Sonoita. It is filled with historic, traditional and new weavings dating from 1910-2017.

Arizona Inn has amazing history. We are so pleased to have them in Tastes & Treasures II with their story and recipes.
Manager Patrick Cray gave us an informative tour and a small B&W book filled with history of the place. Hollywood and high society came often to Arizona Inn.
