Pleasant Valley Historical Society Museum

Vacationing in the Rim Country, Tom and Cathy Shumard delivered Tastes & Treasures II to the Pleasant Valley Museum in Young, AZ. Cathy thanked Barbi Richards, spokesperson and President of the Pleasant Valley Historical Society, for the fascinating tour. "It was great to see that history is being preserved to allow future generations to know a little better how their ancestors lived.

We especially enjoyed stories about:

The Stinson brand of T being slightly altered and placed on rustled cattle hides

The Pleasant Valley War

Your family jewelry

Your friendship with Norma Jean Coulter in the 1980s at the Heard Museum

Your maternal and paternal grandparents settling in Young."

On July 16, 1935, the City of Phoenix purchased 285 acres of agricultural land that became Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Increasing air travel and rapid population increase together fueled Sky Harbor’s exponential growth. In 1952 the airport served 296,000 passengers. Last year, Sky Harbor handled more than a thousand flights a day and 48.6 million passengers!

Students and teachers are you ready?

The annual National History Day® contest theme is designed to help you think of a topic from any aspect of local, regional, national, or world history. With this focus, you can begin to ask questions that your research will help you answer, including how your topic is significant in history.

Here are the Arizona Historical Society we are partnering with library and archives, historical groups, and educators to develop a study guide to get you thinking about this year’s theme!

NHD’s theme will be: Rights & Responsibilities in History. This year’s theme invites you to consider questions of time and place, cause and effect, change over time, impact and significance. The key to this theme is addressing BOTH rights AND responsibilities. Both are powerful forces in history, but one does not work without the other.

Check out this resource to start defining your topic and begin your research!
