Founded by Latter-day Saints in 1876, the town was abandoned in 1881 due to flash flooding. It is now on the register of National Historic Places, and 37 buildings have been partially restored.
Brigham City is a ghost town in Navajo County, Arizona, United States. Founded by member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints near the present city of Winslow in 1876, it was one and one-half miles north of Winslow's current city center, along the Little Colorado River. It was organized as a Latter-Day Saints ward in 1878, but by 1881 it had been abandoned.

A small museum with exhibits detailing the history of the Winslow area.
Winslow owes much of its fame to the Eagles' hit song of the 1970s, "Take It Easy," with lyrics that talk about "standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona." If you want to relive the song, the town has erected a small exhibit at Standin' on the Corner Park in the downtown area; go there and see if a girl in a flat bed Ford slows down to take a look at you.
This park preserves over seven separate ruined pueblos, and over 300 archeological sites. The park hosts interpretive programs throughout the year, and has a number of hiking trails as well as a year-round campground.
Offers opportunities for canoeing, fishing, swimming, and picnicking. Clear Creek Canyon, a deep rock canyon with petroglyphs, is accessible only by canoe. It is possible to camp here; see listing below.
Chevelon Steps Petroglyphs
Over 3000 petroglyphs are located on what is now a working cattle and buffalo ranch. The petroglyphs are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and have been determined to cover a period spanning 6000 years produced by several Native American cultures. Personal guided tours are offered by the ranch owner Brantley Baird and his ranch hand Clem Rogers.
A gem of a park, with a good view of the Painted Desert. The view is particularly beautiful in the early morning and late afternoon.
