GCHS members may be interested in this virtual program from the Arizona Historical Society.
Join the AHS virtually on Wednesday, April 22 at 12 p.m. for the sixth program in our Arizona Histories, American Stories series.
The Southwest is home to some of the earliest and most interesting of the National Park Service national monuments. These sites – preserved for their scientific and historic value – include cliff dwellings, Spanish missions, petroglyphs, giant cactus, and natural bridges. Beginning early in the last century, one man – Frank Pinkley – was superintendent for the entire system of thirty Southwestern national monuments.
