Nestled amidst the scenic landscapes near Florence, Arizona, the Tom Mix Memorial and 96 Ranch stand as enduring testaments to the Wild West's rugged legacy. The Tom Mix Memorial commemorates the life and adventures of one of America's most iconic cowboys, Tom Mix, whose daring exploits on horseback captured the imagination of audiences in the early 20th century. The memorial site features a bronze statue of Mix atop his trusted steed, paying homage to his contributions to Western cinema and cowboy lore.

Adjacent to the memorial lies the historic 96 Ranch, a sprawling expanse of land steeped in frontier history. Originally established in the late 19th century, the 96 Ranch embodies the spirit of the Old West, with its sprawling pastures, rustic homesteads, and tales of cattle drives and ranching pioneers.
