RAILROAD AVENUE
Railroad Avenue became the commercial center for the growth of Willcox and the Sulpher Springs Valley from the time of the construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad through the area in 1880.
This park is bordered with local historical markers, an old passenger car, now restaurant, and the theater and statue of Rex Allen. Worth the visit for an history buff.
