Gardening was a very important skill for pioneers, and it still is for many people today. Families grew vegetables, herbs, and fruits to feed themselves. When it came time for harvest, they put all hands to work to gather the produce. They found clever ways to preserve the harvest to sustain them throughout the winter. At this Pop-Up, learn what it takes to grow your own vegetable and take one home with you! All Pop-Up Program materials are included with General Admission.

Prescott’s Phippen Museum is once again hosting the 10th Arizona Pastel Artists Association National Show. The exhibition and sale runs from February 28 through April 19, 2026.

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.

Jim Hinckley’s America is the culmination of a lifelong passion for road trips and the rich, colorful American story. Founded in 1990 with the encouragement of his wife Judy, Jim Hinckley turned his natural talent for storytelling into a mission: inspiring people to discover America by the open road. What began with feature articles for a wide range of publications—and a monthly column, The Independent Thinker, for Cars & Parts magazine—quickly became a platform for celebrating the unsung heroes of American history, from automotive innovators like Ralph Teetor to the everyday people who shaped the nation’s journey.

Over time, that passion expanded into books covering subjects as diverse as the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company, Route 66, Southwestern adventures, and the evolution of American car culture. Together, the books and articles formed the foundation of Jim Hinckley’s America, which has since grown into a multifaceted network including a popular website and blog, international presentations, a YouTube channel, an active social media presence, and Coffee With Jim, a weekly podcast designated an official Route 66 Centennial program. Along the way, Jim has shared the road with audiences around the world—from Route 66 festivals in Europe to book signings across the United States—and built lasting friendships along the journey. Jim Hinckley’s America is a shared adventure: smile-inducing, thought-provoking, and endlessly inspiring, all in service of sharing America’s story and showing people where to go.

We’re getting ready for our 5th annual Bike Festival and we’re so excited to bring this back to the community!

Admission is free and ALL are welcome.

This year is a little different as we handed the entire event over to our incredible team of student interns, who are pulling the whole thing together in just TWO WEEKS. Their commitment to our mission and the dedication they have shown all semester makes us so proud, and it really shows in this event. Come support them, along with our athletes, staff, and volunteers, and spend a beautiful afternoon with us.

Join us from 1–4 PM at the Yavapai Ramada at Fort Tuthill for music, hands-on bike experiences, and a chance to connect with the biking community here in Northern Arizona. At 2:00 PM, we’ll also host a community ride—so bring your bike and get ready for a beautiful ride with neighbors and friends.

Come check out our adaptive bikes, a powerful example of how technology and engineering come together to create access and opportunity for community members with disabilities.

As the students work hard to make this event a success, they are also getting food and coffee vendors lined up to keep everyone fueled throughout the afternoon.

Come hang out with us, bring a friend, and be part of it!
