Hunt's Tomb
The pyramid on the hill is Hunt's Tomb, the final resting place of Arizona's first state governor, George W.P. Hunt. Hunt is entombed with his wife Duett and five members of their extended family. Helen Duett Ellison Hunt was charming, graceful, and skillful with horses and guns.
In his diary, Hunt wrote, "It is a beautiful monument, and the sight from the hill is wonderful."

Born in Missouri, Hunt came to Globe, Arizona in 1881. He found success as a banker and rancher, and in 1884 became mayor. Known as the "Old Walrus" due to his stout body and impressive mustache, he became state governor in 1912, serving a record seven terms.

As main author of the Arizona Constitution, Hunt helped guide Arizona into statehood. He advocated for mandatory education and workers' rights, and supported women's suffrage years before the federal government. He improved prisons, roads and canals, and helped secure water rights to the Colorado River. To relax, he collected Native American art and grew rare plants.

Hunt was inspired by the grandeur of the Pyramids at Giza while traveling abroad. Upon Duett's death in 1931, he arranged to have their own pyramid built. He joined her after passing away on Christmas Eve, 1934. In 2008, the tomb was restored and placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution.
