Water: Quest for the Solution

Water is a serious subject. An unlimited and endless supply of it can no longer be taken for granted, especially in the arid Southwest. But, as the past demonstrates, water for desert dwellers continues to be an important and fascinating part of Arizona’s survival. Sharlot Hall Museum’s newest exhibit examines the history of water management in Arizona, and bring to life the story of this critical and ever-changing natural resource.

On Sunday, August 3: How did Arizona cope with drought in the past? Douglas Kupel, author and historian, offers a revealing perspective on today's challenges, and provides a springboard for a discussion of current water issues. Presented by The Arizona Humanities Council. 1:00 PM in the Museum Center Gallery.


Living History “From Campfire to Cook Stove: Food Preparation in Frontier Arizona”
No grocery store. No Stouffer’s. No microwave. Living history demonstrators will show you how dinner got on the table in the 1860s. Saturday, August 9 from 10 to 3 at the Pioneer Living Area and Frontier Trades Building. For further information contact Mick Woodcock, 928-445-3122 ext. 17. The Arizona History Adventure is sponsored in part by a We The People grant from the Arizona Humanities Council.
