Looking for historic places in Sedona, AZ? Look no further! Relics is located at Rainbows End, which is a Sedona Historic Landmark Attraction, in the beautiful Red Rocks of Sedona. It is the town’s oldest continuously operating restaurant. The Gibson old stone-and-wood house and now our “Gibson” Room was built in the early 1900s by the Gibson family on the last homestead available in Sedona. The Gibson house was turned into an eating establishment called Rainbows End when Ray Lawson and his wife purchased the property in the 1940s and it quickly became famous for their fried chicken. Ray was inspired by “a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.” Today the “Gibson” Room seats 50 for dinner and the Front Room, which was originally the front porch of the Gibson House, continues to be used as the Entrance to the restaurant,Waiting Room and Host Station. The “Lounge” and formerly infamous saloon was added in the early 1940s. The Saloon has entertained its share of western movie stars when filming in Sedona including John Wayne, Glenn Ford, and Henry Fonda were filmed here at Relics. The Saloon was in fact the western movie stars’ favorite hangout from the 1940s to 1960s. The “Lawson” Room and former Dance Hall in the back of the building was added last. This room Lawson Room ready for a function with an open dance floor can accommodate 200 dinner guests or 120 with a dance floor. Members of the community actually helped lay the wooden dance hall floor so that Rainbows End would be ready for the first grand opening country dance party.
