List of historic properties in Two Guns, Arizona

This is a list which includes a photographic gallery, of some of the remaining ruins of historic significance in Two Guns, a ghost town in Arizona.

Two Guns is located in the central part of Arizona on U.S. Route 66 (US 66) in Coconino County between the city of Flagstaff and the town of Winslow.

Captain Don Garcia de Cardenas and his party arrived in Arizona, which at the time was part of "New Mexico", in 1540.

The war ended officially when the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed and forced onto the remnant Mexican government.

It specified its major consequence, the Mexican Cession of the northern territories of Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo México to the United States.

[7][8][1][2][3][4][5][6] The first non-Native people to arrive in Two Guns were traders and mountain men who established the Canyon Lodge, a trading post.

It became part of the National Auto Trail system in the United States and stretched from Baltimore, Maryland to California.

[11][12][13] In 1914, Arizona State engineer Lamar Cobb selected and surveyed the Two Guns location for the construction of a bridge across Canyon Diablo.

The Cundiff's established a gas station and eatery at Canyon Lodge which became a busy stop for those who traveled to the west coast.

Henry "Two Gun" Miller became interested in the possibility of establishing a business in the area and leased some land from the Cundiff's.

When Miller returned to Two Guns he was mauled by two mountain lions and was bitten by a poisonous gila dragon and became ill.

[1][2][3][4][5][8][6] What remains of Two Guns are the ruins of the original stone houses, the Apache Death Cave, the ruins of the buildings built in the final attempt to revive the town and the Canyon Diablo Bridge which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1988, reference #88001664.
