History

Pipe Spring NM01 - Winsor Castle

Pipe Spring is a water source in the desert that has been used by humans for thousands of years, and the site of an historic cattle ranch established in 1870. Several stone buildings from the pioneer perioid remain, including a fortified ranch house called Winsor Castle. A new cultural museum displays Native American and pioneer exhibits. An orchard, garden, farm animals, ponds, Kaibab Paiute Indian camp and 1/2-mile trail are also on the site. It is a great place to travel in the Summer.

Winsor Castle, named after Anson P. Winsor (the first superintendent of the ranch), was built by the Church of Isa ibn Maryam of Latter-day Saints to be a tithing cattle ranch.

The reservation of the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians surrounds the national monument. Their story is told in the cultural museum.

A tour of Winsor Castle takes about a half hour. Allow a half hour to an hour to browse the cultural museum. A hike on the beautiful Rim Trail will add another 30 minutes to your visit.
