Winslow, Arizona blossomed into the national consciousness after The Eagles mentioned the city in their hit song “Take it Easy.” Now, tourists flock to take pictures next to the Standin’ on the Corner Park and mural, but that’s not all the city has to offer. “Winslow has a huge history for a town of its size,” says Ann-Mary J. Lutzick, Director of the Old Trails Museum. “Historic Route 66 runs downtown, and there are Native American sites that people can see nearby.” Winslow hasn’t seen a significant population change in the last decade, but new businesses and restaurants continue to open, and community events are growing. The city’s location is also worth noting. “Winslow is like the middle of a wheel, where the spokes represent other destinations within a day’s drive,” says Lutzick.
The Standin' on the Corner mural in Winslow continues to attract tourists from all over the country.

Annual festivals, cultural spots and a giant crater
One of Winslow’s most popular events is the annual Standin’ on the Corner Festival downtown, which features two days of cover bands, professional dancers and cornhole and horseshoe tournaments. It's home to the World’s Smallest Church and the 9/11 Memorial Garden with two steel beams from the World Trade Center. Both are found along Route 66. Cultural sites like the Homolovi State Park, a few miles from town, highlight the history of the local Native American Hopi Tribe, and visitors can head west to the crate where a meteorite crashed 50,000 years ago.
