Natural History: Geology, Flora & Fauna of Desert Foothills
October 28, 2023 @ 8:00 am - December 31, 2023 @ 5:00 pm MST
The Cave Creek Museum has created a new desert exhibit entitled Natural History: Geology, Flora & Fauna of Desert Foothills. The exhibit features spiders, insects, venomous creatures, animal skulls, desert plants, rocks and photos of the animals that grace the Arizona foothills. And, according to Evelyn Johnson, executive director for the museum, there are hands- on items for children to touch and learn.
“We also have a night sky and activity center so children to color pages and display their work on the wall,” says Johnson.
The 53-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. Cave Creek Museum is located at 6140 E. Skyline Drive in Cave Creek, Ariz. Open October through May. The museum can be reached at 480.488.2764 or cavecreekmuseum.org. Where History Comes Alive.
