Historic White House in Casa Grande

Beautifully restored and furnished, Marge Jantz has created a retreat in her 1929 Casa Grande home. The historic designated "White House" is filled with antique treasures and Marge gave
an educated and informative tour. Dressed in period outfit, she was very entertaining and thoughtful, sharing her home and garden with 42 Historical League members on the bus tour.

Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin

We love easy-to-fix dinners. This one is delicious and so simple. Another recipe is found on page 44 of Tastes & Treasures cookbook for Roast Pork Tenderloin with Rhubarb Pear Chutney and Pinot Demi-Glace. The cookbook recipe is more detailed- it's from the chefs at historic Garlands Oak Creek Lodge in Sedona but well worth it.

Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin

2 pound Pork Tenderloin
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 TBS Yellow Mustard
2-3 TBS maple syrup
2 TBS olive oil
2 TBS Diced dried onions
1 1/2 TSP Garlic Salt or Powder
Mix ingredients above. Pour over Tenderloin in the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours.

Historical Casa Grande Tour


Patti gave us the tour on her first official day of retirement. Volunteers never retire!
Dee Rinda was most helpful in the lobby.
A sold out Historical League tour to Casa Grande was filled with history.  Casa Grande Historical Society Museum was our first stop. We were greeted with warm smiles, coffee, cookies and an explanation of the Museum, adjoining schoolhouse and beautiful rock church.

After previewing Tastes and Treasures cookbook, they now carry it in their gift shop.

Thanks to Tour Chairs Lindy Isaksen and Linda Fritsch for arranging everything.
