Jacob's Review:

There is a little olden house that you can go in and see all the stuff from back in the olden days - Old Leo is there to tell you all about it - and he knows some funny stories too! Then there is a singing cowboy who plays the guitar and tells funny jokes and you can watch him. The new building has a giant tree growing through the floor of the deck - and I saw humming birds sitting on branches in the tree.

Dad's Notes:

The host is Rose, a well dressed, bubbly Hungarian woman who seems to know everybody in town. She can, on occasion, be coaxed on stage to share a poem.

The regular entertainer is none other than Dolan Ellis - Arizona's Official Balladeer. As Jacob said “It's an olden Cowboy show” - where the balladeer sings and tells stories of historical AZ, in a neat, cozy and air conditioned setting.

Other Cowboy poets, musicians and artists do shows about once a month (check the web or call for schedules).

Be sure to poke around the old cabin, (The Moffat house) it is original and tells much of the canyons history in its story.

Drive Directions: I-10 East to 90 (exit #302). Right (south) through Whetstone and Huachuca City. At the first traffic signal south of Huachuca City, turn left. You are still on Route 90. At the intersection of Routes 90 and 92 (Target store on your left and a Ford dealership on your right), go straight ahead. You are now on Route 92. Continue ahead for approximately 6 miles to Ramsey Canyon Road. Turn right onto Ramsey Canyon Road. Folklore Preserve is on right after you get into the woods a bit (watch for sign). Ramsey Canyon Inn & Preserve are at the end of the road.

Jacob Tip: Plenty of shade and animals!
