Story

McFarland State Historic Park is a small historic park located in downtown Florence, Arizona on the corner of Main and Ruggles Streets. The park consists of a preserved courthouse and other buildings dating to the Arizona Territory period. The original structure was built in 1878 with the addition of a jail in 1882 and the courthouse in 1891. The courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.McFarland Park reopened February 2011 after repairs and renovations. It had been closed because of Arizona State Parks budget cuts.McFarland Park commemorates Ernest McFarland (1894-1984), who was successively a US Senator, Governor of Arizona, and Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court. McFarland bought the old courthouse building in 1974, donated it to the state, and paid for its renovation. McFarland State Historic Park was opened and dedicated October 10, 1979.

A lot different than any other state parks. It's really as a museum and Susan there was an awesome guide! She really knows her stuff and to learn about a crazy shootout that happened in Florence by law enforcement. Wow! It does not take a long time to go through this place because it's pretty small but definitely worth stopping by.

This is a very interesting place that I didn't expect to find in such a small town. It's worth a visit.

I visited this establishment with my husband, my in-laws, and a 5 year old. The ladies were extremely feiendly and very knowledgeable. They were also incredibly patient with my 5 year old, who was full of questions and wanted to see everything.

A lot of history here to learn. It is the first court house in Pinal county and the oldest court house still standing in Arizona
