Fancy Paint

Jail Tree

If you think Sheriff Joe's tent city would be a bad place to have to spend some time, just think how bad it would have been to get arrested in Wickenburg back in the late 1800's. They didn't have a jail so they chained them to a tree as depicted in this public sculpture.

Founder

The Henry Wickenburg sculpture, by artist Clyde Ross Morgan, is at the Wickenburg town hall.

Henry Wickenburg was a gold miner who discovered the Vulture Mine and founding father of the town that was named for him. Over $30 million in gold has been dug from the ground at the Vulture Mine. 

Sign

I have no idea what this sign is about but it must have been important as it is set into the wall of a large building in Wickenburg.

Update: Captain Canada is a comic book superhero who was created by Geoff Stirling, a Canadian who resides in Wickenburg Arizona. 

Hassayampa Building

The life size bronze statue of Elizabeth Smith, the original owner of the Hassayampa Hotel in Wickenburg,  by artisit J. Seward Johnson, waves to all who pass by the corner. She was said to be the best cook for miles around. People traveled all the way from Phoenix in the 1800's to eat at her restaurant. That would have been a long trip by horseback or stage. 

Miner And Donkey

The miner leading his donkey is another one of the painted bronze, life size sculptures in downtown Wickenburg.

Before The Cell Phone

Once upon a time, there was a phone inside.
