Faraway Ranch Historic District, located within the Chiricahua National Monument in southeastern Arizona, preserves the rich history of one of the last frontier settlements in the region. Established in the late 19th century by Swedish immigrants Neil Erickson and Emma Sophia Peterson, the ranch evolved into a hub of agriculture, ranching, and guest operations under the management of their daughter, Lillian Erickson Riggs.
Today, visitors can explore the carefully restored buildings at Faraway Ranch, including the adobe Ranch House and small garage, which offer a glimpse into early 20th-century ranch life. The legacy of the Erickson family and their contributions to the establishment of the Chiricahua National Monument are preserved within this historic district, providing a window into the pioneering spirit of the American West.
