Hispanic Colonial Adobe. Built by Mexicans working for early rancher Jim Stinson. Stinson sold the valley ranch to Wm J Flake in 1878. The adobes were roofed over into one house in the 1920's. Today, the Stinson Pioneer Museum displays treasures from Snowlflakes' prehistoric, Hispanic, Indian and Mormon Pioneer past.

When Jame's wife died he closed the house up, with all the furniture, dishes everything! The Flake family decided it was a shame not to share this treasure. Take a tour of the home and share some of the stories, happy and sad.

The White Mountains and surrounding areas offer a wide diversity of habitats, from juniper grassland to spruce-fir forest. Nesting species in the higher elevation mixed conifer and spruce-fir forests include Gray Jay, Blue Grouse, and Three-toed Woodpecker. Lower areas near Eagar and Springerville often attract interesting migrants in the late summer and fall, as well as some sought-after nesting species such as Gray Catbird and Pinyon Jay. The area's many lakes offer habitat for nesting, migratory, and wintering populations of many species of waterfowl and bald eagles. Birding can be good throughout the year in the White Mountain area. Be advised that the higher elevations are usually impassable due to snow until May.
