National Monument - Arizona, United States
Pipe Spring National Monument preserves a historic fort and ranch that served as an early Mormon pioneer outpost in the 1870s, built around a rare desert spring. The monument is managed by the National Park Service and tells the intertwined stories of American Indian tribes, Mormon pioneers, and early ranchers in the American Southwest. The site features the restored Winsor Castle fort and demonstrates 19th-century frontier life through living history programs. The spring has been a vital water source for over 1,000 years, supporting Kaibab Paiute people and later European-American settlers.
