Up go the lights

KINGMAN – Tis’ the time o’ year.

A City of Kingman Parks Department lighting team made up of Rocky Burdine, Josh Bathauer, Kyle Davis and Todd Durham have been getting Locomotive Park ready for the colorful, festive Christmas season.

“There are others that helped at times, but these were the four involved the most,” said Mathew Golder, Assistant Parks Superintendent.

Three of those crewmembers were stringing up lights and a star on the more than 40-foot pine tree along Route 66/Andy Devine Avenue Thursday and Friday.

The organization secured a lease of the property from Mohave County in Jan., 2023 with a goal of restoring and reopening the two-story building as a showcase for local history, much like the Mohave Museum and Bonelli House.

Historical Society Director Leah Stagg said jail construction that commenced in 1909 was completed in 1910. She said that the facility was in the community forefront long before, and then during decades of operation before closing in 1968.
