Around 1900, the Santa Fe Line moved its Arizona midpoint offices from Ash Fork to Seligman. Trains stopped in Seligman regularly, not only for mail and for cattle headed for the Chicago and Oklahoma City stockyards but also to bring tourists who dined and stayed at the big, handsome, new Havasu Harvey House, built around 1905 by the railroad for Fred Harvey. The Seligman Sundries building located in front of the Harvey House was built in 1904 and is the oldest commercial building still in existence in Seligman.

Coffee berries start as green berries in their early stage of growth, then turn yellow, red, then dark crimson when they are finally ripe and yield the best coffee. In fact, according to the rule of "FIVE": the Arabica coffee plant takes about "FIVE" years to mature and produce its first crop. A healthy coffee tree will produce only about "FIVE" pounds of green beans per year, but only about "ONE-FIFTH" of a pound meets the rigid sorting standards to be sold as "Specialty Coffee."

We invite you to join us for your favorite coffee drink at our coffee bar.

As you travel down Route 66 between Oatman and Seligman, plan to stop at Cool Springs. It's there where you'll meet George, the mayor of Cool Springs.

George will enthusiastically provide you with interesting facts and stories about this stretch of Historic Route 66 that is on the eastern slope of the Black Mountains between Kingman and Oatman. Built in the 1920's, this site boasts of a colorful history that is truly "Route 66". Get your cameras ready for the spectacular 360-degree views from this historic site.
On February 1. 2010, the Grand Canyon Caverns made available to the Route 66 community and all Roadies a very unique place to spend the night. "The Cavern Suite" is a beautiful space 200 feet underground inside the Grand Canyon Caverns. The suite accommodates up to 6 people in great comfort in the most beautiful setting ever imagined for a great night's rest. Every convenience has been thought of to enhance your stay in this beautiful setting of colorful walls and ceilings that are over a million years old. Your own personal attendant is a rotary phone call away to attend to your needs and ensure your comfort.

We also have added a wonderful three bedroom house with wood-burning fireplace stoves as lodging options. There is no nicer way for a family, several couples or a small group to enjoy the shared experience of our 1,400 acres of beauty.
