Greetings!
Our museum celebration of the Arizona Centennial continues for one more historic month with the exhibition Shaping Arizona Statehood: The George Stuart Historical Figures of the Movement West. As we reflect on our heritage, and the explorers and pioneers who bravely ventured west, we are reminded that people and relationships are central to our lives.
This month we position history with memory in novel ways. The Time Machine ventures to Connie Sauve's Hickory Dickory Clock Shoppe, and NAME provides an informative exploration of the fine old row houses of Baltimore. Our latest video brings you face to face with the George Stuart Historical Figures and some interesting characters from the museum's collection. The mysterious allure of the human eye captivates us as the revival of a miniature art form gains momentum.
H.G. Wells, the author of The Time Machine, once said, "The past is but the beginning of a beginning and all that is or has been is but the twilight of the dawn." The memories we gather on our journey shape the future in historic and transformative ways. Enjoy the ride.
Happy trails,
Nina Daldrup
Executive Director

Sustaining our Future: Living
Tributes
As spring blossoms around us, we are gently reminded of the special people in our lives. Though some are here and some are gone, their contributions to our happiness and well being are never forgotten.
Donations to the museum in honor or in memory of someone special are a meaningful and lasting tribute to the ones we love. They may commemorate a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary, or they may establish an enduring memory of someone who has passed away.
Tributes may be funded in a variety of ways, from cash donations to bequests or other planned gifts. Your donation can be directed to support the museum programs and activities of your choice or that best represent the spirit and unique interests of the person you wish to honor.
There is no limit to what can be accomplished through a sensitive and thoughtful tribute to someone who made a difference in your life. In the season of new beginnings, your caring recognition of someone special is a wonderful way to express your appreciation.
Thank you!
