Tastes & Treasures II at Navajo County Historical Society

 1895-1897. The early years of Navajo County courthouse. Check out pictures Historical League Mary Perona took of the courthouse and the jail when she delivered a box of Tastes & Treasures II: A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona to them. Navajo Co. Historical Society Administrator Dawn Sawyer was very pleased to receive the books filled with AZ history, recipes, memories.

We are grateful to Mary for delivering books and taking photos.

Barbershop chairs from 1900s

 Barbershops have changed but not Angel Delgadillo's Route 66 shop. They still use his father's 1926 chair. Mary Perona took pictures at Navajo Co. Historical Society in Holbrook so you can see the similarity to Angel's in Seligman. Photo shows Zona Lorig interviewing Angel for his oral history when he was honored as 2023 AZ Historymaker. •

Praise from League volunteers for AHS Dr. Kristen Rex, Leonard Moody and Stacey Trepanier, "All did a great job organizing A Day at the Museum. It was both fun and helpful to the National History Day Arizona (NHDAZ) students in making their projects even better in preparation for going to Maryland for the national competition! The Historical League is proud of our participation today and our support of NHDAZ."

Day at the Museum for NHDAZ students

Smiles greeted the NHDAZ students during Day at the Museum. Historical League members Cathy Shumard, Chris Hackett, Anne Lupica, Pam Den Draak had fun handing out SWAG: cowboy hats, pins, hoodies, AZ flags and more on Saturday, May 4 at Museum of the West. The students will stand out in the crowds in June at University of Maryland.

 

NHDAZ teachers are appreciated

 

Historical League is proud to support NHDAZ teachers. Glad to see them holding our book, Tastes & Treasures II: A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona. Filled with information about Arizona, the book is helpful for their students also.

National History Day in Arizona is feeling thankful.
