| | |
| | | | | Tyson's Well Stage Station, built in 1866-67, now houses pioneer and mining artifacts, photos, and mineral specimens. An assay office lies out back with more exhibits.The Quartzsite Historical Society opened Tyson's Well Museum in February 1980, after extensive restoration work. The original structurally sound walls were retained and others were rebuilt. A shell of stabilized adobe brick was built around the original walls to protect them. Recycling aluminum cans, yard sales, bazaars, slide shows, membership dues, book sales and donations raised money for the restorations. Fundraisers continue during the months the museum is open. Charley Tyson, at its present location, built the original adobe stage station in 1866. It was an important way station on the California-Arizona line because of excellent water and grass for the horses. Miners and freighters, hauling mining equipment and military supplies from the river port at Ehrenberg, also stopped here. |
