Geronimo’s Castle and Bowie

In the tiny
town of Bowie, Arizona is a large teepee known as Geronimo’s Castle. In the
1940’s it was a Greyhound Bus Station, and later had a café and shop within its
atypical walls. It was also once a filling station, and a bar with the motto, “Stop
in for a bottle of beer”. Accounts are told that Chief Geronimo was captured on
that site, but history tells another story. Sadly, the place closed its doors
in 2004 and is now an abandoned place worth seeing. The owners are hoping to someday
reopen the establishment and serve all the weary visitors traveling through
Bowie.
