Campus-Wide

Saddle up, partners! A band of mischievous outlaw eggs have scattered themselves all over the Museum. Your mission: jot down where each egg is hiding. Keep your eyes sharp and see if you’ve got what it takes to be the quickest egg-wranglin’ detective in the West. When you’ve found them all, mosey on over to the gift shop and turn in your roundup sheet to claim your reward.

Hop into the holiday spirit! Easter is almost here, and the Sharlot Hall Museum is celebrating with a special Pop‑Up craft.

From 10:00 AM–2:00 PM, swing by the West Gallery to design your very own Easter greeting card.

Pop-Up activities are included with General Admission.

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.
