1898 AD - Introduction of Winton
Welcome to the town of Winton, Arizona! The county seat of Buchanan County, home of our marshal, a doctor, and even a general store all connected by the Union Pacific! Such a lot of things thanks to our growing town of 893 people! This small town home to our colorful citizens and more is a great adventure as much as riding horse back down the valleys and mountains just east of our little settlement of home. Established in 1865, we welcome you into our little pocket of home, and come by Hickman's Saloon for yourself a drink and a piano show!
We look first at the end of main street, where our little courthouse sits at the corner, home of Judge David Puckett, our judge since 1892, and around it sits little shops and a hotel at the corner of it, a height of building we say, it can't get better then this! I do say, from his time as judge, we seen only 65 hangings of them outlaws!
Oh no! Looks like some of em' horses got our the corral, the men are probably to wasted back at a saloon to give a hoot! Hopefully the corral men and livery stablemen, will take care of them escapees!
Here is the blacksmith and livery building now, now is it me, or is not a good idea to have a old fire casually just lite up in the middle of town?

The railroad stop of the Southern Pacific, one of the most isolated stops of the track. We see a train stop every month or so, and tickets are sold rather quickly if you want to get out of our town, then again who would want to get out of our little patch of heaven?
Now, this is Hickman's and a beaut she is, she is a popular spot for the frontiersmen to stop by, and Mr. Hickman himself enjoys his little place. While there may be a shoot outs occasionally and the marshal comes and puts it down while the law and order, it's usually quiet when one of em' don't occur. Just don't tell the marshal about the sometimes illegal poker games going down, might get a bit nitpick with the bartender and playsmen!
Now, for them children's education, we got ourselves a school house, state of the art I tell you what! Mr. Wilcox is the best teacher in the whole county, and he's the only one as well!
Now to end it all, a picture of a horse stable by the corral for all them horses who like to escape!
Now, we'll see y'all real soon in 1900, to celebrate the beginning of the 20th century!
