Welcome to
Holbrook
Holbrook is famous for the Wigwam Motel — 15 concrete teepees built in 1950 that are still operating as a roadside hotel today. Vintage cars sit parked between the wigwams, and the property is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Petrified Forest National Park sits just east of town, preserving 225-million-year-old fossilized logs and the Painted Desert. Joe & Aggie's Cafe (1965) was the inspiration for Pixar's Cars.
