Although we've stayed in Willcox many times before, it's always been for just overnight. This time, since we were staying two days, we decided to get out and see a few of the sights.

The first place we went to was the Rex Allen Arizona Cowboy Museum. Rex Allen was born and raised in Willcox. The museum is located in one of Willcox's oldest commercial buildings, built in the early 1890's, and originally operated as the Schley Saloon from 1897-1919. When prohibition came along, the building became a grocery store.

We then headed off to Stout's Cider Mill, famous for their apple pies and cider (their largest pies are made from 10 pounds of apples!). Of course, we had to buy one of their pies (a small one), some cider, and some Mesquite/Catclaw honey. (And, since we had to do some grocery shopping anyway, we just had to buy some vanilla ice cream to go with the apple pie!)
