Any amount helps us preserve forgotten Arizona history.

Most people forget what life was like all those years ago - and we don’t blame them! With all of our modern conveniences its easy not to think about it. in less than 100 years the world has been revolutionized by things like the internet, modern vehicles, and even microwaves! Years ago, they didn’t have these things. People wrote letters, rode on horseback, and cooked their food over open flames. Although in modern times we have learned much about science, technology and medicine, its important not to forget our roots. Our team is small, but passionate in preserving the human experience. Things may have changed, but people haven’t. Take some time to pause and reflect on the progress we’ve made. Not only technologically, but as human beings. Many people have passed through our beloved town over the years leaving behind small pieces of themselves, which we are here to document. Our main focus is preserving history, the basis of which is people like us. Most people forget, but you don’t have to. Become a part of Vulture City’s history by helping us not only preserve it, but to make it accessible to all. we attract creatives. Artists, writers, sculptors, daydreamers, etc. If you need a break from the busy modern world, come see us. look into the past, connect with history, connect with people.

We need YOUR help to preserve our incredibly unique Arizona history for generations to come.

Our team at Vulture City Preservation Inc is dedicated to the restoration, preservation and public cultural enrichment of historic Vulture City, Arizona’s largest gold strike and best restored authentic ghost town. Vulture Preservation focuses its funds on both the continuous preservation of over eighteen rare adobe and stone buildings from the 19th century, as well as our educational tour programs that provide an exciting interactive experience for students of all ages. Our foundation staffs through a grass roots effort that relies strongly on volunteer efforts and where donations make a huge difference in the number of educational and arts related programs we can offer.

In 2017, the new owners of Vulture City, (Rod and Robin) began an effort to reverse decades of decay and neglect to this once booming mining town. With a small, yet incredibly dedicated team we have made great strides towards doing so. During the past four years over 18 structures have been authentically rebuilt and lovingly curated. In the words of Rod and Robin, the dedication and love that Stephen Cerutti (Operations Manager) and Tina B. (Curator and Guest Relations Manager) have given to the restoration of Vulture City, has forever changed its path. Now this team has another opportunity to preserve the 100+ years of history.

Due to the expansion of the separately owned gold mine, the historic power house/engine room and processing plant are directly in the path of development. These buildings need to be relocated to our side of the fence. The mine owner has graciously offered Rod and Robin the opportunity to relocate these buildings, and their rare artifacts, into the heart of the old ghost town — a half mile journey. Although not a long distance, the labor intensive process of moving the entire buildings will be time consuming and costly.

To support Vulture City’s ongoing development and restoration work a new charitable foundation (Vulture City Preservation, Inc.) has been established and donations to preserve history can now be made by hitting the Donate button below.
