Cave Creek Museum to wrap season

Cave Creek Museum will remain open through Saturday, May 31, 2025, the last day of its 2024-25 season.

“We opened the doors this season with a record number of visitors,” says JoAnn Stuckey, interim executive director.

Stuckey says the museum enjoyed many firsts throughout the season including record crowds for the new Arizona Gold Mining Experience and standing room only for its many Cave Creek Museum Presents and Kiwanis Family Fun Days series.

“I encourage Arizonans and visitors to bring friends and families to the museum before the end of May to see this year’s exhibits,” adds Stuckey. “Then, mark your calendar to return in October to see the changes that happened during the summer. However, during summer, there will be many tasks to accomplish calendar planning, fundraising, program decisions and mailings to say nothing of the exhibit changes that will take shape. We welcome people who would like to volunteer and be part of making positive changes for the museum. And, we look forward to another season of engagement with the community.”

The 54-year-old museum’s mission is to preserve the artifacts of the prehistory, history, culture and legacy of the Cave Creek Mining District and the Cave Creek/Carefree foothills area through education, research, and interpretive exhibits. The Cave Creek Museum is located at 6140 E. Skyline Drive in Cave Creek, Ariz., 480.488.2764. Open October through May.
