Photography Permit Beautiful natural backdrops make this an exceptional location for photography and videography. To manage the responsible use of this treasured site, an annual media permit ($100) is required for those wishing to utilize this historic property. No confetti, glitter, streamers or similar items are ever allowed, due to potential hazard to the property and the animals.

Permit purchases can be made at www.historicsahuaroranch.org and will be mailed out. Manistee Ranch is a separate permit that can be purchased through the Glendale Historic Society by calling 623-435-0072.

Historic Main House Tours September - May: Sat.: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Sunday 1 to 4 p.m.

Enjoy a guided tour of the Main House, built in 1891, and get to know the families that settled and transformed this property.

This story begins with the completion of the Arizona Canal in 1885, which created thousands of acres for homesteading and irrigation farming. Crops such as wheat, alfalfa, cotton, figs, citrus and pecans were plentiful on this 2,000-acre ranch. The landscaping included beautiful rose bushes and palm trees, which gave the property a park-like setting.

No tours on these dates: Nov. 23, Dec. 23 and 30.

Ranch Site Tour Saturday, Sept. 28, 11 a.m. - Noon Meet on the front porch of the Main House for a unique tour of multiple buildings, agricultural information and the sharing of family history related to the property. This tour will be a combination of indoor and outdoor facilities, so dress comfortably. No reservations required.

Animal Management The Ranch is home to a number of animals. We ask that all individuals feeding the animals do so a substantial distance away from the historic structures, porches or walkways, as food and droppings tracked into the historic buildings can cause damage.

Any of the animals on park grounds should not be chased, as this creates an unsafe, stressful situation. Animals are best viewed from a distance as they move around the property, which they call home.

“The class on Home Buying and Selling was very informative. Even though I have bought and sold several homes in the past several years, there was much I did not know. I recommend the class highly. The number of hand outs were many and very helpful. I have filed them away and will be beneficial in the future. Presentation was exceptional and very professional” - Millie

(13+) Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body, especially the hips, sacrum and spine.

Yin asanas (postures) are more passive and mainly on the floor. Yin Yoga is unique, as you are asked to relax in the asanas, soften the muscle and move closer to the connective tissues, offering a deeper access to the body.

Flexibility decreases over time and Yin Yoga is a wonderful way to maintain your flexibility. No class Nov. 11, Dec.23, Dec. 25, Dec.30, Jan 1, and Jan. 20.
