Superstition Mt. Museum carries Tastes & Treasures II in Gift Shop

Who has ridden a Boneshaker bicycle? Dave McElligot gift shop and event manager at Superstition Mt. Museum shows off the "Boneshaker" (bone-shaker). The term from 1869 refers to the first type of true bicycle with pedals. Boneshaker had an extremely uncomfortable ride, which was caused by the stiff wrought-iron frame and wooden wheels surrounded by tyres made of iron.

Tastes & Treasures II: A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona is a new book for their gift shop. Cathy and Tom Shumard delivered a box of books and took time to enjoy the many sights of the Superstition Mountain Historical Society Museum.

Tour to Superstition Mountain Museum

Dee Steen and Judy Blackwell outside the entrance.
50 Historical League members enjoyed the day at the Superstition Mountain Museum in Apache Junction. With the mountain and Weavers Needle as the backdrop, five docents gave us personalized tours that were very informative and interesting. Such a busy place with so much history . . .
They were impressed with Tastes & Treasures cookbook and now carry it in their gift shop.
