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.

Prescott Valley Public Library will be hosting a workshop on Transforming Writer’s Block with author Laraine Herring on Monday, May 4, 2026, from 12-2PM. Join us to draw on tools from the presenter’s book, On Being Stuck: Tapping into the Creative Power of Writer’s Block, we will talk about what writer’s block is and isn’t, share strategies, and learn some foundational compassionate questions to ask yourself when you’re feeling frustrated.
If you’re finding yourself stuck in a writing routine that’s not working for you anymore, or if you’re lost in all the possibilities your work-in-progress can become, then this workshop is for you. Let’s clear the cobwebs and make space for story! This gentle, generative workshop will help you remember that writing happens when we write, so let’s spend a little time doing just that—together.

Please bring writing materials and be prepared to write.
Laraine Herring is a retired professor of creative writing and psychology. Her memoir, A Constellation of Ghosts: A Speculative Memoir with Ravens, was released from Regal House in 2021. She’s also the author of a trilogy of writing books, including Writing Begins with the Breath, the editor of Becoming Real: Women Reclaim the Power of the Imagined through Speculative Nonfiction, and the author and illustrator for The Grief Forest: a book about what we don’t talk about, and The Grief Carnival: a book about loving what is leaving. She’s currently working on another memoir called Solving for X: A Speculative Memoir of Mothers. laraineherring.com

What started out as a small production on a dirt lot, has today turned into a thriving local market with food vendors, art, fresh produce, and more! The Flagstaff Community Market is dedicated to providing an outlet for small-scale vendors the opportunity to thrive in our community by giving them a place to sell their local, sustainably grown food as well as other hand-crafted products. This market also promotes education in the community and works to encourage those in rural and urban parts in the city to grow their own food. The Flagstaff Community Market started in 2000 and now has a partner market focused solely on supporting local artisans called the Flagstaff Urban Flea Market. Please come and enjoy each of the markets and discover what Flagstaff locals have in store for you!
