Located in Yavapai County in the town of Cottonwood, the community enjoys incredible views of the Sedona red rocks in the distance and is surrounded by National Parks and the free flowing Verde River. Below are excerpts from the Cottonwood Ranch Writing club, telling us what they feel is so special about our community."The people, the sense of community, the genuine caring about others in need and a feeling of belonging. We are a family."

The Clarkdale Historical Society and Museum, located in Clarkdale, Arizona, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history of this unique town, the first company town in Arizona. Established by copper magnate William Andrews Clark, the museum resides in a former clinic building that served the town's smelter workers and their families and was renovated and opened as a museum in 2008. The museum offers a diverse collection of archival items, including personal papers, photographs, and historical documents that reflect the growth and development of Clarkdale. It serves as a vital resource for research and community engagement, inviting donations of family history materials that contribute to the understanding of the town's heritage.
