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!

In the 1800s, covered wagons were the backbone of westward migration. These wooden “prairie schooners” carried supplies and people across rough trails, but they depended on iron parts and the skill of blacksmiths to keep them rolling. Broken wheels, worn axles, and loose fittings were common, and blacksmiths were community problem-solvers who fixed broken parts. Visitors will see how wagons were maintained and watch blacksmiths as they shape the tools and hardware that made traveling to the West possible.
