Queen Creek's Stage Coach
This is all that remains of the old Andrada homestead, which the Arizona Stage Company used as a rest stop on its route from Florence to Mesa. It was a simple one-room building about 10 feet by 10 feet with a door on the south side and gun ports instead of windows. The stage company came through Queen Creek and used this site from approximately 1868 to 1916.
I'm a freelance writer in the Phoenix area. I'll write about almost anything, but travel is my passion. I love writing about Arizona, in particular, and sharing our wonderful state with others. Check out my book, Great Escapes Arizona, available at Barnes & Noble and on Amazon.com.
