Harshaw Townsite

Harshaw

Located in Santa Cruz County, 10 SE of Patagonia. It was settled in 1875 and once boasted of numerous stores, saloons, and even a newspaper called "The Bullion." It had over 100 working mines nearby in its heyday.
This adobe structure and an old cemetery across the dirt road are all about all that's left to see.

Hi David,
Thanks for your nice note. I'm sure sorry to hear this building is caving in. I'll have to go take a ride back to see it. It's been a while since I've visited.. My goodness, what a family history connection to Harshaw you have. Your photos must be priceless. Any thoughts of publishing them in a book?

Greetings Peg,
I recently visited Harshaw in May '08 - the roof and part of wall of this building has caved-in. This history should be saved. I understand that some ladies now own Harshaw.
My uncle, Glenn Perry was born in Harshaw 1880's and had the Rail-X ranch near Patagonia and worked with Walter Vail at the Empire. Have lots of history/pic from those days.

Sure enjoy your pictures. dp
