Pipe Springs National Monument – Arizona

Images of Pipe Springs National Monument – Northern Arizona, taken in April 2018.

Erected as a tithing ranch as directed by Brigham Young, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Winsor Castle became a settlement of the Mormon church beginning in the 1870’s. The fortified ranch house was built over the main spring to secure the coveted resource and a telegraph line was established to connect the fort to the rest of the region. Deseret Telegraph was the first telegraph office in the Arizona territory. By 1879, overgrazing relegated the fort to a way station and, after enactment of laws outlawing polygamy, a hideout for polygamous wives. Pipe Springs National Monument was created in 1923 because of its historical significance as well as a stopover for tourists traveling from Zion to Grand Canyon National Parks.
