Church on the Hill & Yuma Territorial Prison




We have been looking at the Church on the Hill across from Pilot Knob RV Park all week, so today we went to have a look. When we got to what we thought was just a little church on the hill we found a whole interesting center with Central Store, Restaurant, Pyramid, monuments, and of course the church. We were told that it is the center of the earth and they had the original spiral stairs from the Eiffel Tower. The monuments were granite slabs with the history of the US, California, Arizona, humanity, and they have 5 acres to develop.
After the church we visited the old Yuma Territorial Prison and seen the history of how the prisoners lived and worked. The graves were just piles of stones like you see in the old westerns and the cells were just holes in the walls with six inmates in each cell and no frills.
