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.

At this month's Focus on Photography, popular photographer and teacher of photography, Nick Kelsh, will help you capture stunning images using the camera you always have with you (your smartphone!) by demonstrating how to take full advantage of your phone’s camera to capture professional-quality images. Understanding manual controls on your phone can take your images to the next level and can help you gain even more creative control with your smartphone. Nick is a renowned photographer and author of nine books, including the bestselling Naked Babies and Siblings (co-authored with Pulitzer Prize winning writer, Anna Quindlen) and three how-to books for amateurs, How to Photograph Your Baby, How to Photograph Your Family and How to Photograph Your Life. He has appeared Oprah and The Today Show, and has been featured in Time, Life, Newsweek, National Geographic, The New Yorker, Forbes, and Fortune.

Focus on Photography is a monthly photography lecture and workshop series arranged by and held in partnership with Yavapai Digital Arts and Photo Club.

Please join the Northern Arizona Chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society for a presentation by Richard Ryan.

Richard Ryan’s talk will focus on the most recent glacial period, roughly 12 to 16 thousand years ago. He will outline the Ice Age physical environment and how it differs from today. He will then present images of the megafauna that roamed in what is now Arizona and then discuss the Paleoindian period where there is the first evidence of human presence. There are six mammoth kill sites in Arizona and these areas will be discussed with photos and videos.

Mr. Ryan received a master’s degree in Archaeology from Northern Arizona University. He worked for the Desert Research Institute, the Museum of Northern Arizona, several contract archaeology companies and as an archaeologist with the Prescott National Forest. His main area of interest is Ice Age mammoth hunters of the Paleoindian period.

All are welcome. All are related.

Presented by Northern Arizona University and Coconino Center for the Arts

Founded in 2023, the NAU Middle East Ensemble is a group of twenty Northern Arizona University students, faculty, and Flagstaff community members, directed by Dr. Lillie Gordon. The ensemble performs music from throughout the Middle East. Join us for an evening of lively classic and popular songs and instrumental pieces from Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran and more. For this performance, our repertoire focuses on the concepts of love and wind, two words with a close relationship in Arabic poetry and song lyrics. We are pleased to be joined by world-class guest dancer Carrie Konyha for an extended set.

This performance is supported by NAU's Honors College, Kitt School of Music, and College of Arts and Letters, as well as the Coconino Center for the Arts managed by Creative Flagstaff.
