The Tumbleweed Ranch
Tumbleweed Park, a 154-acre regional park located on the southwest corner of Germann and McQueen was acquired in 1995. One of the unique elements of the park is Tumbleweed Ranch, a 14-acre outdoor learning environment that recreates a nineteenth century farm with a collection of historic homes, buildings and farm equipment.
Tumbleweed Ranch, a part of Chandler Museum, hosts school, scouting and family programs open to the public throughout the year, giving visitors a personal hands-on experience with history. Each year, approximately 2,300 visitors learn about Chandler history through field trips, hosted at the Ranch.
To further give a glimpse into the past, visitors can see the McCroskey House, a farm bungalow, built in 1917. It is open for tours during field trips and special events.
Future programs will be centered on chuck wagon history, open fire cooking and kids outdoor cooking.
