The Legend Lives On

1875.jpgIn January 2010, Arizona State Parks announced plans to close the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park due to state budget cut-backs. By March 2010, through the efforts of the "Chain Gangs", the Yuma community rallied to raise $70,000 in donations to keep the park open and operating.

 

The City of Yuma arranged a lease of the park from the state, and the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area took over daily operations.

The park is open daily from 9AM to 5PM, thanks to the efforts of all those who gave of their time, effort, and money.
