The city of Hackberry

The town of Hackberry used to be a small community of ranchers, miners
and their families. The rail road came to Hackberry in 1882, loading
cattle from area ranches along with ore from the Hackberry Silver Mine.
The mine began in 1874 when prospectors built a mining camp near a spring
on the east side of the Peacock Mountains. The mine was named for a large
hackberry tree that grew near the spring.
Mining ceased in 1919 but not before over $3,000,000 in gold and silver had
been produced. During this time, Hackberry offered regular services to it’s
residents including a one-room school house, post office and two bordello’s.
The 1957 Red Corvette has become a favorite photo spot for many visitors.
Be sure and take a picture for your own memory of your Route 66 adventure.
The car became a popular touring car for the drive from Chicago to LA due
to the Route 66 television show. Many people stop to enjoy the Hackberry
Visitor’s center. They are riding motorcycles on a tour of the region
and it is a popular day trip for bikers during the Laughlin River Run which
is held the last weekend in April each year.
The first weekend of May brings another group of touring cars during the
Route 66 Fun Run. Hackberry is one of the official rest stops and hundreds
of vintage to modern day cars can be seen during this eventful weekend.
Wherever you call home, we are glad that you stopped by to visit and
enjoy our historic site.
