Queen Creek Independent
As communities across the U.S. honor Travel and Tourism Week, Queen Creek highlights the town’s history and agritainment destinations.
National Travel and Tourism Week is an opportunity to celebrate community assets. From outstanding parks to an extensive trail system and dining and shopping options, Queen Creek has a lot to offer. Queen Creek is known for farm-to-fork experiences at the Queen Creek Olive Mill, Schnepf Farms and Hayden Flour Mill at Sossaman Farms, according to a release.
Queen Creek’s bustling agritainment industry evolved from the community’s deep agricultural heritage. In the early 1900s, founding families established homesteads in the area known as Rittenhouse at the time. Included in the founding families were the Sossamans who settled in the area in 1919 and the Schnepfs who settled in 1941.
