Red Rock Loop History Tours
(History & Heritage)
Red Rock Loop History Tours by Sedona Heritage Museum
The Sedona Heritage Museum will host another round of their popular local history tours, on October 2, 3, and 4, 2014 this time visiting historic sites, homesteads and buildings while following the Red Rock Loop road.
Red Rock was what the area around the base of Cathedral Rock was known as long before anyone ever heard of the name Sedona. Tour guide Paul Thompson, grandson of Oak Creek Canyons first permanent Anglo settler J.J. Thompson, spent his earliest growing up years in Red Rock. Thompson leads these tours every year as a way of sharing his familys long history in the area and as a way to give back to the Museum for their preservation work.
The tour will visit the Chavez place, Dumas Ranch, Schuerman-Red Rock Cemetery, Schuerman family homestead house, the Armijo homestead house - it is on the National Register of Historic Places -, ruins of our first school from 1891, site of an early Oak Creek vineyard and an irrigation flume made of barrels, plus other sites, while hearing stories of the historic themes and people who inhabited this original seat of civilization for our area.
Tours are October 2, 3, and 4, 2014 from 9 am-noon.
Space is limited on the luxury coaches. Tickets are $50 for Museum members, and $55 for non-members and available for purchase at the Museum or by calling 928.282.7038.
The Sedona Heritage Museum is located in Jordan Historical Park at 735 Jordan Rd. in Uptown Sedona. The Museum is housed in historic structures on the National Register of Historic Places. www.sedonamuseum.org.
