Historymaker 2019 Exhibit private opening and ribbon cutting was a wonderful celebration. Exhibit is now open during normal business hours.

Historymakers Exhibit Opening in Scottsdale Progress

From the Scottsdale Progress Oct 27, 2019

“This is what I do best,” former Arizona Secretary of State Betsey Bayless quipped with a pair of shears in her hands. 

After a short countdown, Bayless, surrounded by a few of her 2019 Arizona Historymakers cohort, cut the blue ribbon for the Arizona Historical League’s 2019 Arizona Historymakers Exhibit at the Arizona Heritage Center in Papago Park.

The now-open exhibit follows the 2019 Arizona Historymakers “Turquoise and Tuxedos” Gala that took place Feb. 23, at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa, where six distinguished Arizonans were recognized for their lasting contribution to the community in diverse areas, including the arts, education, healthcare, communications, community service, and philanthropy.

Private opening of 2019 Historymakers Exhibit

A large crowd attended the private opening of the 2019 Historymakers Exhibit at AZ Heritage Center. Stop by and enjoy this display telling the story of some marvelous Arizonans: Betsey Bayless, Art DeCabooter, Michael J. Fox, Alfredo Gutierrez, Merrill, Mahaffey, Vern Swaback.

Loved the classic '56 Chevy parked in front of the hotel.
