OLD HOME MANOR

Old Home Manor, or OHM, is the future of Chino Valley. Consisting of 880 acres of mostly undeveloped land, this plot-east of Chino Valley proper-is likely to serve as the commercial, municipal and community hubs.

At present, the Parks & Recreation Department maintains a 3.75 acre, regulation-size baseball field which doubles as a special events location. Also located within the sea of open space is the eerie Quonset Hut, an old metal building that houses the Town's Haunted House. There also exists the Susan A. Williams Equestrian Center, home to the Territorial Days sanctioned rodeo during Labor Day weekend.

HISTORY:

West of the Mingus Mountain Range, the area known as OHM has worn many hats. First established as a private ranch, then turned farm and back to a ranch again, the Town purchased 880 acres in 1978 in hopes of providing water to its residents. In 1985, 160 acres were rezoned for agricultural use, and leased to Olsen's Grain. This proposal soon evolved into a grazing lease with Bill Dillar followed by Semkin's Longhorns.

The Town constructed a baseball field in 2000, while Yavapai College Agribusiness Center began operations in 2003. The following year Fann Environmental opened the Town's waste-water treatment plant in 2004. In 2006, Arizona State University gave verbal interest in developing a campus to serve northern Arizona.
