WHPS’s Cindy Thrasher in the livery with circa 1900 John Deer Farm wagon.
Henry Wickenburg’s home beautifully preserved A wonderful piece of Wickenburg history beckons visitors just a few steps from downtown. The former home of the town’s founder stands intact, and lovingly restored by the Wickenburg Historical Preservation Society. Located at 225 S. Washington St., the home was built by Henry Wickenburg in 1903. A single man, he lived there, near the railroad tracks, until his death in 1905. As the story goes, some neighborhood children discovered him dead from a gunshot wound to the head, under a mesquite tree west of the house. He was buried nearby. Folklore still argues whether it was murder or suicide. John and Mary Boetto bought the three-room house in 1913, enclosed the front porch, and added a kitchen and bathroom. The house remained in the Boetto family for 86 years. Having fallen into disrepair, the home was purchased in 2000 by the Town of Wickenburg. Around that time, former
mayor Larry “Roach� Roberts and Cindy Thrasher became the original incorporators of the Wickenburg Historical Preservation Society, which took an interest in preserving this piece of Wickenburg’s history. In 2006, the Society purchased the Boetto house, as well as the nearby historic cemetery. Since then, the Society has restored the home, creating a beautiful showcase of yesteryear, along with many artifacts from the period when the house was a home. The Henry Wickenburg Historic Home and cemetery are each listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The project itself, and Thrasher as an individual, each earned the Arizona Governor’s Heritage Honor Award and the restoration was named Project of the Year. A walk through the old home carries on the memories of the Boetto family and Henry Wickenburg, and reminds visitors of a simpler time. Located on the edge of a mesquite thicket, the

property is now landscaped with native cactus, wildÁRZHUV DQG D PDQLFXUHG \DUG As the years pass, Thrasher has been diligent in continuing to build the historical value of the property. The most recent addition is a (circa 1900) John Deere farm wagon donated by John Augustine. In order to preserve the wagon, a protective “livery” roof was constructed courtesy of (Sam) Crissman Construction and Jim Swift. Interestingly, the lumber used to build the livery was repurposed from an old building at Baxter Lumber Company – known to have been in business as early as 1909, just a couple blocks from the Henry Wickenburg house on S. Washington Street. In addition to the recent work, many local individuals and organizations have lent a hand in preserving the Henry Wickenburg Historic Home through the years, including the Questers who have been instrumental in securing grant monies to purchase amenities for the home as well as help fund the livery, Thrasher said. The Henry Wickenburg Historic House is open for tours during Gold Rush Days (second full weekend in February) 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. and Saturday after the parade. To arrange a tour any other time, call (928) 684-5603. Visit www.wickenburghistory.com for more information.
Celebrating Henry Wickenburg’s 200th birthday Henry Wickenburg was born Nov. 21, 1819. To celebrate two centuries since the birth of the town’s founder, the WHPS is planning activities for Nov. 21-24, 2019. Martina Wickenburg Hubrig, a living relative of Henry Wickenburg, will visit from Essen, Germany, and bring a gift from her city’s mayor to be presented to Wickenburg Mayor Rui Pereira. The birthday party will kick off on Thursday, Nov. 21 with a celebration at the Henry Wickenburg Historic House, including music, cake, guided tours and more. On Friday, the celebration will continue at Vulture City – the nearby town site which sprung up after Henry Wickenburg discovered the lucrative Vulture Mine, which spurred the town of Wickenburg into existence. (Vulture City has recently been meticulously restored and is a ghost town destination to rival any other.) Festivities will continue on Saturday in downtown Wickenburg with music, guest speakers, a “Treasures to Trashe” yard sale, and a cowboy dance and barbeque. Details will be released prior to the events. Check the Town of Wickenburg or WHPS websites for a schedule.

Got the Fever? By Anie Wayman-Trujillo
Wickenburg and surrounding areas embrace a rich history of treasure seekers who came in the mid-1800s in pursuit of the dream of striking it rich by finding gold. With Wickenburg straddling two counties – Maricopa, which boasts one of the largest gold producing mines in Arizona, and Yavapai, which is ranked first in overall gold production in Arizona – it is no wonder recreational gold mining in Arizona is flourishing today and is one of the favorite past
-times for prospectors in this area. Wickenburg itself is named after miner Henry Wickenburg who is credited for discovering gold in 1863 and establishing the Vulture Mine in 1866. It is estimated that between 1863 and 1942, the mine produced over 340,000 ounces of gold and 260,000 ounces of silver. Unfortunately, this mine was classified as non-essential during World War II, and was closed. It is estimated the mother lode of gold ore in the Vulture Mine, speculated to be worth many times the amount of what has already been extracted, still

awaits discovery. This, in addition to the deposits found in desert washes, mild winter climate and public land make the Wickenburg area a mecca for prospectors to search for placer gold with metal detectors and drywashers. Because searching for this precious metal has become so popular, gold panning clubs, like the one sponsored by Gold Fever Adventures and Resort, offer multiple services to help teach the art of gold prospecting. “We’ve been around for over 19 years, gold panning and helping educate people” stated Jack Tucker, co-proprietor of the Club, and even though he has had his share of luck finding gold, he reminds everyone that “ You’re probably not going to just go out and pick up a gold nugget and become rich right away. You need to know what you’re looking for and how to use the equipment.” Jack adds that “people also need to understand many areas that one might think is public property and open to searching for gold is actually patented or unpatented mining claims that are private property.” To help enable their members to have access to claims, 19 active unpatented claims have been staked in the club’s name. The Resort also provides approximately 25 acres of property that is dedicated as a Gold Mining Camp. Classes on using pans, and metal detectors, a panning area, an area to run mining equipment and learning safety tips are only a few of the resources that are provided to members. The Club also provides camping spaces and is expanding, with the RV sites to be available towards the end of the year and a Grand opening in December. Jack Tucker also hosts Gold Fever Radio on the internet and You-Tube segments where his topics range from searching for gold, information on Relics, Ghost Towns and Treasurer hunting. Gold Fever Adventures and Resorts is located about 60 miles west of Wickenburg. For those of you who don’t want to risk the wilds of Arizona in search of gold or would like to try your )DOO :LQWHU )DOO :LQWHU
hand in gold panning before you take the plunge, Gold Fever Radio partners with Hanson’s Aggregates of Arizona and the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce during Gold Rush Days in February to provide the weekend favorite Gold Panning Booth. Hanson’s provides between one to one and a half tons of metal rich sand usually from the San Domingo Wash that has been enriched with additional metals from the Chamber. Volunteers from Gold Fever Radio are on hand to help learn the art of gold panning, answer questions and help everyone have a fun time.

Spirit of the Past is Present at Vulture City ghost town By Anie Wayman-Trujillo Vulture City is a “ghost town,� but unlike many meccas from bygone eras, visitors have no trouble imagining what life was like 150 years ago – because the town is standing and restored. All but abandoned after World War II, the legends and buildings were left to the ravages of time. “The Hanging Tree�, where it is said that at least 18 men met their fate at the end of a rope, towered silently next to Henry Wickenburg’s battered rock and adobe house. The assay building and bullion room, said to have had millions of dollars of gold ore pass through its doors, was left in shambles, half of the roof collapsed on the abandoned contents. An adobe that was probably the bunkhouse for the miners had walls left to decay. The brothel and boarding house,

This was the fate of one RI WKH PRVW DIĂ XHQW WRZQV LQ $UL]RQD XQWLO ZKHQ RZQHUV Rod Prat and Robin Moriarty imagined a new beginning for this city lost to time. “When we took over the ownership of the city, most of the buildings were a ramshackle mess,â€? Moriarty mentioned, “but we had a vision. We wanted to open up the city to tours and events and restore as many of the buildings as we could, creating a setting that resembled what it was like to live here in the 19th and 20th Centuryâ€?. Vulture City was founded in 1866 right after Henry Wickenburg established the Vulture Mine. It was built out of necessity

During its peak, Vulture City housed stores, a school, VDORRQ PHVV KDOO D SRVW RIĂ€FH DQG PDQ\ RWKHU EXLOGLQJV Slowly Prat and Moriarty and their crew began to clean up years’ worth of trash and junk. Building crews began reviving the skeletal remains of the structures, securing the frames of the many dilapidated buildings, repairing adobe and re-setting rock walls. Artifacts that had been strewn about were carefully set aside for display. As a ghost town, there also are many stories of spirts that still linger. Stories such as the ghost of a young man named Jimmy, who met an untimely death while working with a piece of machinery at the power house, or the ghosts of those hung at the “Hanging Treeâ€?, are a large part of this city’s lore. Ensuring that the supernatural vibe was respected was such an important part of reviving the town that paranormal events such as Ghost Hunts with Celebrity Ghost Hunters Jay and Marie Yates and segments of TV and internet shows like American Ghost Story have become favorite events. This season, Vulture City will host LWV Ă€UVW 3DUD&RQ HYHQW 6HSWHPEHU ZLWK JXHVW VSHDNHUV workshops and a Celebrity Ghost Hunt. If this isn’t enough to satisfy your spiritual curiosity and you are looking for the ultimate paranormal experience, you can even book your own 5 hour Private Ghost Hunt at the city. With most of the restoration of the buildings complete, new terraced and grass area have been added to enhance events and palm trees were replanted to replace those long perished, Prat and Moriarty are enthusiastic about the 2019-20 season. Vulture City will also be showcasing a unique addition this year. In July of 2019, what is believed to be the only remaining home from the mine era, was moved back to Vulture City after occupying property located in Wickenburg, where it had been relocated in 1935. True to their vision of creating an experience and venue worthy of the once-richest town in Arizona, Vulture City is open all year for self-guided tours, and from October to May you can take in a 2 hour guided tour on the weekends. The City is also available for weddings, corporate retreats, parties, special events and of course Ghost Adventures. Visit www.vultureminetours.com. )DOO :LQWHU

By Elizabeth Wagner One thing that makes a town unique is the natural open space that surrounds and winds through it. Wickenburg has no shortage of that. Visitors are drawn to the brilliance of the daytime desert and the majestic and tranquil atmosphere at night. The Sonoran Desert boasts a delightful array of plants and animals; in fact, it is considered to have the highest plant biodiversity of deserts worldwide. If nature supports the foundational character of a place, then this desert town is certainly a colorful one. From scrub terrain to riparian corridors to parks graced by towering pine and Mulberry trees, Wickenburg offers the best of the desert, including nearly year-round recreation-worthy weather. ,W LV HDV\ WR Ă€QG D SDWFK RI QDWLYH 3DOR YHUGH WUHHV DQG 3ULFNO\ SHDU FDFWXV DURXQG here; however, more elusive is the lush VWUHDPVLGH RI WKH +DVVD\DPSD 5LYHU 3UHserve. Wickenburg is lucky to have an above-ground river and thriving riparian corridor, with a visitor center, just four miles southeast of town on Highway 60. 0DQDJHG E\ WKH 0DULFRSD &RXQW\ 3DUNV and Recreation and The Nature Conservancy, this preserve is a hotspot for naturalists, hikers, birders, curious kids, artists, photographers, and anyone looking for some peaceful shade.

Groundwork of ‘the capital’ By Anie Wayman-Trujillo Roping cattle has been a part of the western way of life since the 18th Century when the Spanish Cabaerllos and Cowboys started “teamâ€? roping larger cattle and livestock in order to better handle the animals while they were working. When organized Wild West Shows and Rodeos were established, roping cattle was no longer just used as a way of handling livestock; it became a popular event to watch. Eventually this event grew into organized events and contests between cowboys. Today, Team Roping is one of the several Rodeo events that directly evolved from working cattle and has become one of the biggest sports events for equestrian enthusiasts. No one knows exactly when team roping became an organized sport but the Professional Rodeo Cowboys AssoFLDWLRQ DZDUGHG WKH ÂżUVW :RUOG &KDPSLRQVKLS 7HDP 5RSing buckle in 1929. In Arizona, cowboys have always taken roping seriously. The PRCA website shows that from 1929 to 1969, with the exception of a couple of years, Cowboys from either California or Arizona took home the Championship for roping. It’s is no wonder in the late 1950’s when Art and Patricia Rodgers of Wickenburg fame started a roping club in Wickenburg, it was an instant success. The Everett Bowman Rodeo Arena and Grounds was not

In the winter they roped every Sunday and in the summer they roped every Saturday night. They were always having pot lucks or BBQ’s and once a month they held fun daysâ€? All of the outings were very family orientated, Bruce adds, “one of the signature roping series the club hosted, the Pro/AM was particularly special to those just learning how to rope.

Usually 3 steers for 20 or 25 dollars, Bruce remembers that there were payouts at the end of each roping and at the end of the season the amateur who had won the most money in that series would win the buckle. Teaching the art of roping to kids and to just anyone who wanted to learn was also a priority. Bruce remembers Art

Beaver Bird was instrumental in making team roping an everyday event in Wickenburg.
and members like Jim Custer would spend time helping anyone who wanted to improve their roping. “It was a special time in Wickenburg� Bruce recalls, “ One of the buckles I won I wear all of the time and I think we owe a lot to Art and Patsy for creating the beginning of this roping legacy�. The Roping Club disbanded in the late 1990’s but by then team roping in Wickenburg was a way of life. In 1992 Leo “Beaver� Bird, Wrangler for the Wickenburg Inn Dude Ranch and fellow wrangler Terry Ellenberger had started hosting roping’s at the Dude Ranch. “Mainly these ropings attracted the local ropers and ranchers� said Dee Dee (Bird) Smith, “in 2001 when the Dude Ranch closed Beaver wanted to keep putting on roping’s and that’s when Horse World was built off Rincon Road. “You could go practice on Wednesday nights or just about any time someone asked to practice for $10.00 a man�, Dee Dee remembers. “There were roping’s every Saturday in the winter, but the one event that really drew the ropers was the Tuesday,�Over 40 #10 drawpot�. Indeed that roping was instrumental in putting Wickenburg on the map with an average of 500-600 teams, and some ropiings hosting up to 900 teams. When Horse World sold, Beaver moved his ropings to the Everett Bowman Arena and Rodeo Grounds where he put on events until 2012 when he retired. By 2012, team roping had become more than just a weekend sport in Wickenburg. The 2012 Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce website lists 7 arenas in the Wickenburg, Morristown and Agulia area’s that hosted roping’s
from November to April. For the fall of 2019 and winter of 2020, ropers can expect an event every day of the week, IURP SUDFWLFH URSLQJV GUDZ SRWV 4XDOL¿HUV DQG WKH (YHQW Finals that Wickenburg is now famous for. Looking back at the history of team roping in Wickenburg, every milestone, from the Roping Club, to Beaver’s Horse World, to events like the NTR National Finals has helped bring Wickenburg the title of Team Roping Capital of the World. This October at least six arenas are set to open up in the Wickenburg area alone making the 20192020 one of the most anticipated yet. Its’s sure to be wild and fun so residents and ropers, grab a rope, saddle up and enjoy the ride.
