Meet Maury Herman, the third generation of his family to live and work in downtown Flagstaff. His grandparents, Julius and Marianna, were Jewish merchants who settled here in 1899.

People have used the stars and constellations for many reasons to prepare for what are some things coming up for each season, for example: hunting, whether it will be a dry or wet season, what kind of climate, people will be expecting, and so on. Please join James Jones as he shares the Navajo perspective of the night sky. James Jones was born and raised on the Navajo reservation. He attended Rock Point Community School during the time it was a bilingual school from kindergarten to high school.  All subjects were taught in both the English and Navajo language.  The school also had local community elders come into the classroom and taught students about cultural lessons. He holds degrees in elementary and bi lingual education and currently teaches the Navajo language and culture at Singua Middle School. Star Talks are held in partnership with and arranged by Prescott Astronomy Club.

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.

Kindled: The Reitz Studio Legacy Exhibition and Sale
December 12th, 2025– January 23rd, 2026

Kindled: The Reitz Studio Legacy brings together the work of Don Reitz and the artists who worked alongside him as studio assistants during his later years at his Arizona ranch. More than just a celebration of Reitz’s singular voice in American ceramics, this exhibition highlights the deep and lasting impact he had on the lives and practices of the artists who supported his studio. Through shared labor, experimentation, and conversation, these assistants became part of a living lineage—absorbing Reitz’s fearless energy, his love of fire and form, and the raw honesty he brought to the material.

This exhibition features ceramic works by a select group of artists who worked closely with Reitz, alongside pieces from Reitz himself. Each artist contributes not only their work but also a written reflection on their time at the ranch and the ways Reitz’s mentorship shaped their creative path. Together, these works tell a story of legacy—not as imitation, but as ignition: a spark passed from one hand to another, kept alive in new forms, new fires, and new voices.

Why do we salt icy roads in winter? Join us for a hands-on science demo where kids experiment with ice cubes and salt to uncover the science behind melting ice! Participants will make predictions, test salted vs. unsalted ice, and watch in real time as salt changes the freezing point of water.Along the way, we'll explore how mixtures and solutions work, what freezing point depression means, and how this simple science plays a big role in our everyday world. Students will practice observation, data collection, and critical thinking while discovering the hidden power of salt.This STEAM Lab is designed for kids in grades 2-5 and promotes hands-on discovery, critical thinking, and scientific fun. Register online, at the Youth Desk, or call 928.777.1537. Prescott Public Library and Yavapai Exploration and Science are teaming up to offer school-age children a chance to experience STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) through interactive and engaging activities. Presented with funding from the Friends of the Prescott Public Library.
