Built in 1897 by a wealthy lumber baron from Wisconsin named Herbert W. Hamilton, Manistee Ranch began as a 320-acre spread along what is now Northern Avenue. Hamilton sold the place to Louis M. Sands, a prominent Arizona businessman and rancher, in 1907, and it stayed in the Sands family until it was sold to the Glendale Historical Society in 1996.
Today the ranch is on the National Register of Historic Places, and its four buildings – a garage, office, barn and house – can be visited to get a taste of Glendale’s rich history.
Attendees will tour a 7000-square-foot home decorated with antique furnishings that are original to the home or that were collected from within the city. The basement houses a collection of photographs, Glendale grammar school items and old farm equipment used on the ranch.
