Cave Creek Museum adds a Golden Reef Stamp Mill Run
Saturday, May 29 at 4:00 pm in Celebration of Cave Creek Rodeo Days!
The Golden Reef Stamp Mill and Gold Panning Station at the Cave Creek Museum will be up and running on Saturday, May 8 at 1:30pm. Join Cave Creek Museum’s miner in residence Hard Rock Harry – that’s him in the red shirt and bandana – for a demonstration of gold panning techniques at the new Gold Panning Station, built by the Museum’s volunteer Dream Team. And in the forge, our expert blacksmith, Paul Diefenderfer will stoke the fire and show you how it was done “back in the day.” Bring your curiosity and a hat for some shade!
On Sunday, May 9, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm, stop by the Museum for “Starry Nights” featuring Special Guest Speakers from the Lowell Observatory! The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, founded in 1894, has been home to many discoveries, including the first detection of the expanding nature of the universe, the discovery of Pluto, and moon mapping for the Apollo program.This family-friendly presentation about the solar system is part of the Cave Creek Museum Kiwanis Family Sunday series and is free to the public thanks to the generous support of the Kiwanis Club of Carefree.
“Our family programming is designed for everyone, so please join us!” encourages Cave Creek Museum Program Coordinator Remington Pettus, “All ages are welcome! If you have questions you’d like to ask the experts, be sure to make a list and bring them with you. And that includes you grown-ups!”
