The Pendley Homestead Apple Packing Shed at Slide Rock State Park will be open to visitors on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Guests can learn about Arizona history by exploring the historic packing shed, where a park ranger will be present to answer questions about the homestead’s past.
The site features equipment such as the Bean Cutler 1933 Sorter and a Bean Cutler Polisher that was added in 1946. These machines are part of the original apple-packing operations at the homestead.
The event is scheduled for weekends, but organizers note that days and hours may change depending on the season.
