Monument to the Wickenburg Massacre, dedicated April, 1937, Wickenburg, Arizona. The Wickenburg Massacre was the November 5, 1871 mass murder of seven stagecoach passengers en route from Wickenburg, westbound for San Bernardino, California.
Henry Wickenburg came to the area in search of gold. He was rewarded with the discovery of Vulture Mine (1863-1942), where over 340,000 ounces of gold and 260,000 ounces of silver were found. There are still relics around the area that stand as a tribute to these early adventurers as well as a walking tour around Vulture City which is adjacent to the present-day Vulture Mine.
