Winslow is a small historic town in northern Arizona, best known for one very famous line in rock music.
🎸
Winslow became iconic because of the 1972 song Take It Easy by The Eagles, which includes the lyric:
“Well, I’m a-standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona…”
That line turned an otherwise quiet Route 66 town into a must-stop road trip destination.
Standin’ on the Corner Park
- A small downtown park built in 1999 to honor the song
- Features a bronze statue of a guitar player, a flatbed Ford, and a mural recreating the lyric scene
