I don’t think we’ve ever heard of Benson, Arizona before or, if we have, it was an unremarkable pass-through town, not a destination. Located in Arizona’s Cochise County, it was founded as a railroad terminal for the Southern Pacific Railroad back in 1880 and today boasts a population of ~5,000 people. It’s still a railroad stop in this part of the country, with Amtrak providing passenger service and the Union Pacific and San Pedro & Southwestern Railroads moving freight. Tombstone, Arizona was our ultimate destination, but when I researched the area, Benson popped up as the ‘City of Murals’ and we were curious as to exactly what the town held in store for us.
