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.

Kindled: The Reitz Studio Legacy Exhibition and Sale
December 12th, 2025– January 23rd, 2026

Kindled: The Reitz Studio Legacy brings together the work of Don Reitz and the artists who worked alongside him as studio assistants during his later years at his Arizona ranch. More than just a celebration of Reitz’s singular voice in American ceramics, this exhibition highlights the deep and lasting impact he had on the lives and practices of the artists who supported his studio. Through shared labor, experimentation, and conversation, these assistants became part of a living lineage—absorbing Reitz’s fearless energy, his love of fire and form, and the raw honesty he brought to the material.

This exhibition features ceramic works by a select group of artists who worked closely with Reitz, alongside pieces from Reitz himself. Each artist contributes not only their work but also a written reflection on their time at the ranch and the ways Reitz’s mentorship shaped their creative path. Together, these works tell a story of legacy—not as imitation, but as ignition: a spark passed from one hand to another, kept alive in new forms, new fires, and new voices.

DJ entertainment, beer and food specials offer an extra reason to drop in; last call will be at 11 p.m.

Since 2014, Dark Sky Brewing Co. has been crafting a beer selection as unique and beautiful as every star, comet and planet visible in Flagstaff's celestial skies. The brewery serves an ever-rotating craft beer menu at two distinct downtown Flagstaff destinations: a beer garden for guests 21 and older offering elevated pub grub from Atmosphere Kitchen and the original family-friendly taproom on Beaver Street, where cold beer pairs with wood-fired pizza from another local treasure, Pizzicletta. Fans can also find Dark Sky brews across Arizona and southwestern Colorado. For current beer tap lists, upcoming events and more, visit darkskybrewing.com.
