Holbrook was founded in 1881 when the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad arrived and named the town after the chief engineer, Henry R. Holbrook. In the 1880s, the frontiersmen were the cowboys, cattle ranchers, and railroaders who made Holbrook the center of ranch country.
Commodore Perry Owens, local sheriff, is credited with bringing law to the town in 1887 in a famous shootout with cattle rustlers at the Blevins House. That historic house still stands, as does the Bucket of Blood Saloon, where many a cowboy refreshed himself. The majestic 1898 courthouse, on the National Register of Historic Places, is the centerpiece of the town.
In the Holbrook area you can visit the real west where tumbleweed still blows into town off the desert. Attend a rodeo, where sometimes the cowboys are mostly Indians, or sign on for a tour of a working ranch. If riding and roping isn't your thing, plan on a tour of ancient Indian rock art sites, a hay-ride across the desert as evening arrives, and a real country cookout dinner.
Indian Dances occur every weeknight June through August from 6:30 to 8:30 PM in front of the Old West Courthouse. See the intricate steps of the Fancy Dancers, the tinkling swing of the Jingle Dress dancers, the intriguing interpretations of the men's traditional dancers, and the dignified sway of the women's traditional dancers.

Route 66 is a part of our country's nostalgia and history. Many people remember traveling along Route 66! In the event you never had an opportunity to see Route 66 up close, you might find this look back at our history interesting!
Route 66 was the way to travel by car from Middle American to the West Coast. The numerical designation "66" was assigned to the Chicago-to-Los Angeles route in the summer of 1926. With that designation came its acknowledgment as one of the nation's principal east-west arteries.
From the beginning, public road planners intended U.S. Route 66 to connect the main streets of rural and urban communities along its course for the most practical of reasons: most small towns had no prior access to a major national thoroughfare. Most of the highway was paved and complete by the late 1930s and was an immediate success.
A trip from Middle America to the Coast could take about a week - no Interstate speeds here!
The journey was not just across miles, it was across cultures and life styles -- from the modest to the exotic.
|
The "Lion Farm," a typical roadside tourist stop was located about 1 mile east of the park entrance. Like the one that still stands just off Interstate 40 near Two Guns, Arizona, it showed off captive mountain lions and other "wild animals of the Southwest" -- for a small fee of course. |

More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-six!"
