Board members of the Grand Canyon Historical Society have been very busy for the past couple of days, helping the National Park Service field media inquiries and doing interviews, tying the stories to Grand Canyon history. We played the same role during the Dragon Bravo fire on the North Rim last year. Dozens of interviews.

Please help support our efforts. We are an entirely voluntary organization promoting and preserving the history of the Grand Canyon we love. To help, simply join the Grand Canyon Historical Society with annual dues of only $35. You can get to know us, help with projects, and receive the quarterly magazine Grand Canyon History. Select “Join” at the top of this page.
