Manistee Ranch was built in 1897 by a wealthy lumber baron named Herbert W. Hamilton from Wisconsin. The ranch is on the National Register of Historic Places, and its four buildings, a garage, office, barn, and house, can be visited by anyone who wants to get a little taste of Glendale history. The basement contains a series of pictures, old farm machinery, and Glendale grammar school objects that have been used on the ranch. They utilized the farm equipment mainly to harvest feed for the livestock, including horses, ducks, cattle, sheep, and chickens. Manistee Ranch has picnic tables and seating areas.

MANISTEE RANCH REVIEWS
A great place to take the family, walk around and learn about the property's history and about the people who owned and lived in the home and the folks that worked the land. There is a sign at the front door that lists dates and times that they open the house for tours and viewing of the home.
It was very well cared for and maintained. Like many of the other types of museums here in Maricopa County, it taught me some interesting facts and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
Manistee Ranch is a great location for photography. During the spring it just feels so good to be there surrounded by green turf.

VIRGINIA’S HOUSE REVIEWS
The answer to your prayers and dreams! I recently had my bridal shower at Virginias House, but I will admit I am not “new”. I have been to, and hosted several events with them. From friends baby and bridal showers, to my own. I HIGHLY recommend. Natalie is a dream come true and works hard to help your vision become a reality. She takes the time to get to know YOU, so your event is truly unique. Not to mention set up/clean up, and a majority of your decor is taken care of is a literal dream. The space is also a gem. From inside and outside options, it’s a quiet little piece of Heaven. I love this place, tell everyone about it, and plan to book over and over as many times as I can!
Natalie & everyone at Virginia's House really are God's gift to weddings. After having my wedding planned for a year, I had a venue cancel on me last minute. Natalie was quick to help get my day booked and went above and beyond to ensure I would have nothing to worry about day of. My wedding was so much better than I could have ever imagined and that was largely in part to all of the hard work from the Virginia's House staff. The venue itself is so beautiful and quaint--so many of my guests raved about how perfect & elegant the setting was. Natalie really did everything for me. Some things that I wouldn't even have thought about, she took care of before I thought to ask. This venue is amazing--no exceptions.
It was the perfect place to have a wedding. The beautiful backyard which felt like an elegant garden, especially at night with the lighting The host and staff were was very nice, food was tasty. I would recommend this place anyone wanting a sweet romantic setting!
