America turns 250.

Let's go find the candles.

Looking for a history lesson that doesn't feel like homework? You've found it. At 250history.com, the Semiquincentennial Series brings each state's distinctive landmarks to center stage to tell their fast and fun story.

We've wandered through big cities, tiny towns, muddy trails, and neon-lit highways-uncovering 5,000 historic gems along the way.

The Semiquincentennial isn't just a mouthful-it's a reminder that history is alive, sometimes weird, and always waiting to be rediscovered.

Whether you're traveling by road, by printed page, or by imagination; whether you are a lifelong native or visiting for a week, we invite you to explore 100 Arizona landmarks that illuminate the one-of-a-kind story of the Grand Canyon State.

Cattle... retirement communities... the ""Bandit Queen""... iron horses...

kissing bridges... sugar beets... border inspection stations... fire tow-

ers... the CCC... range wars... horse racing... kit houses... the golden

age of motoring... irrigation canals... early aviation... the rise of subur-

bia... metal dams... Buffalo soldiers... trading posts... spring training...

Frank Lloyd Wright... movie sets... stringer bridges... This book will

have you telling stories like a native in no time.

The photos and stories collected here are a fast and fun way to learn

the explanations behind the quirks, the traditions and the secrets that

make Arizona uniquely Arizona. Why is it always 11:44 in Florence?

Solved. What was the largest tract of real estate ever sold in Arizona?

A mystery no more. What Arizona airport did flying legend Charles

Lindbergh design? Identified. The oldest resort in Arizona? Revealed.

It is a story only Arizona can call its own. A story told in 100 landmarks. Almost all the selections within are open to the public, or at least visible from public spaces. So, fire up the GPS and see the story of the Grand Canyon State standing in plain sight on Arizona streets!
