Explore Winslow’s many attractions and discover its rich history.
Lorenzo Hubbell Trading Post. Once the premier Trading Post Company of the American southwest territories and now Winslow’s Chamber of Commerce/Visitor Center, this location is a historic destination unto itself. Enjoy historic displays, great architecture and racks of information about Winslow, the region and the State of Arizona.
McHood Park & Clear Creek. Enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities at Clear Creek Reservoir, including swimming, fishing, hiking and picnicking. With a canoe (rentals available), one can follow the creek along Clear Creek Canyon, a magnificent deep rock waterway. This place is one of Northern Arizona’s best kept secrets. Stop by, cool down and relax.
Standin’ on the Corner Park. It’s a rare person who has not heard the famous line from the Eagles first hit single, Take It Easy. The song has the lyric “standin’ on a corner in Winslow Arizona, such a fine site to see, it’s a girl my Lord in a flatbed Ford, slowin’ down to take a look at me.” Many are the visitors who come from far and wide to stand and take advantage of the photo opportunity on the most famous “corner” of Historic Route 66. The park features a life-sized bronze of a guitar carrying balladeer and a trompe l’oeill style mural that depicts the girl in a flatbed Ford. It’s “kitsch” in a good way, and something not to be missed!
La Posada Hotel. Undisputedly a world-renowned American treasure, this special place is considered to be the last of the great trackside hotels. At the time, it was the finest hotel constructed by the Santa Fe Railroad to be a Fred Harvey House. Built in 1929, this legendary oasis is the masterpiece of Mary Jane Colter, chief architect for the Fred Harvey Company and one of America’s most important female designers. A recent restoration has brought the hotel back to its former comfort and grandeur. This beautiful and relaxing resort most definitely is a place not to be missed.
Old Trails Museum. Located in the heart of Winslow’s historic district, the Old Trails Museum is an outstanding source of discovery for Winslow’s unique and interesting history. It houses numerous exhibits and collections such as ancient Native American artifacts, Santa Fe Railroad equipment, Fred Harvey memorabilia, original western art, Wild West territory, Route 66 and Meteor Crater artifacts, plus much more.
Homolovi State Park. Located three miles northeast of downtown Winslow, this park will give you insight into the cultural perspective and history of the Hopi Tribe. Tour the ancient ruins of pueblos that were built by the ancestors of the Hopi people. Marvel at the colorful pottery shards on display and ponder the meanings of ancient petroglyphs. Park facilities include a Visitor Center/Museum, various hiking trails, and RV- camping facilities.
9-11 Memorial Garden. Winslow’s Remembrance Garden is dedicated to the tragic events that occurred on September 11, 2001, and Winslow’s promise that “we will never forget”! The memorial features two large pieces of wreckage from the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
