Vintage Stones, Stone Ware and School Bell

During my three-year exodus to Why AZ to escape South Dakota Winters. I occasionally made the 10-mile drive to Ajo, a quaint diverse township that proudly showcase its Historic Spanish Colonial Architecture of churches, homes, and open-air circular town park where residents and tourist gather to socialize, enjoy the weather, listen to music, purchase food and wearable merchandise from vendors. As well an patronize an assortment of surrounding businesses such as craft shops, library, gym, historic railway station, post office, dog groomer, bookstore, restaurant, etc.

Rather than site-see, most times my trips to Ajo was to buy grocery items from Olson Market, Family Dollar, Dollar General or quickly wash two loads of clothes at the town’s laundry mate.

On October 13, 2022, to appease my visiting girlfriend, Delores I decided to take her sightseeing around Ajo which turned out to be a great trip.

We were amazed by the amounts of exhibits displayed which includes but not limited to the following:

– Vintage Clothes Irons heated atop a cookstove-1940s to 1950s

Vintage Tools From Generations Past
