More Than a Courthouse
This adobe brick building, now McFarland State Historic Park, has served many
roles since its construction in 1878. It was the county courthouse, sheriff’s office, and
jail until converting to a county hospital in 1891.

The park is named after Ernest W. McFarland, who purchased the property and
donated it to the park system in 1974. “Mac” was a former Arizona Governor and
signed the bill that created Arizona State Parks in 1957. He is the only known
American to have served his state in the highest offices of all three branches
of government.
