A community celebration will take place next month to honor the revival of the 1899 Historic Hotel.

Food trucks, special treats, a commemorative pictorial postmark, and free hotel history tours and gold panning will be available on-site during the festivity. The party goes from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at the hotel at 41037 W. Grand Ave., in Morristown, about an hour northwest of Phoenix.

A press release explains that this 1899 building originally was on the train tracks in Morristown and was the layover hotel for wealthy travelers going to the Castle Hot Springs Resort, before taking a three-day stagecoach ride to get there.

In the 1930s, with cars becoming popular, the hotel was moved 500 feet and positioned along Highway 60. It had gas pumps out front, a mechanics shop, and it became the local general store, with a bar on the side, and at one point the post office was located inside the building.

With economic changes over time, the store closed. The building was vacant and remained boarded up for over 20 years. The historic building was purchased by Lisa Miller in 2022 and restored back to the 1899 Wild West Cowboy theme.

It's now open to the public for free guided hotel tours given by history buffs.

There is also on-site camping and gold panning, providing a go-to destination for community gatherings.

A commemorative pictorial postmark stamp of the 1899 Historic Hotel from the Morristown Station will be available the day of the celebration.
