We are so excited about the new display, "The Archeology of Patagonia" that will be complemented perfectly by the fabulous block prints 17 Lobos produced under the guidance of Cassina Farley. Opening night is Friday, March 20th and we hope to see the whole town there!

The high school art class was asked by the Patagonia Museum to create an art project that can be displayed with the new Native American artifact exhibit gifted by the Proctor family. The curating archaeologist gave the students photo examples of pottery and they created block prints. These prints will be framed and will become part of the exhibit. The archaeologist in charge informed us that he is writing an article for the Journal of Arizona Archaeology (JAZA) about archaeology outreach and education. He plans on using three PUHS students' artwork for the article- Jaxon Yslava, Isela Valenzuela and Louis Reyes.
We are very proud of these kids and the PUHS art program.

There will be an opening reception for the exhibit on March 20, 5-8pm at the Patagonia Museum.

The Patagonia Museum has been chosen to host the “Road to 250: Arizona Traveling Museum” on Saturday, March 7 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Patagonia Museum, 320 School Street. This traveling museum is housed in a 40-foot trailer and will be parked on our museum grounds. The traveling museum includes Arizona’s replica of the Liberty Bell as well as exhibits on American and Arizona history, as our nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We hope to see you all on this very special day.

The Patagonia Museum board is pleased to announce that our facility has been chosen to host the ROAD TO 250: ARIZONA TRAVELING MUSEUM. The facility was nominated by Town Manager Ron Robinson and selected by a commission from the Secretary of State’s office, along with Nogales, to represent Santa Cruz County.

The exhibit, housed in a custom, retrofitted semi-trailer, features an interactive display highlighting Arizona’s role in America’s 250-year history. It will be in Patagonia on the Museum grounds on March 7, one of 33 stops in the state on a road trip that begins in the original state capital, Prescott, on Feb 14.

Program details are being developed, and we hope the community will join us on that day for a unique, nonpartisan celebration of civic pride.
