Evelyn Johnson, the Executive Director of the Cave Creek Museum, spoke at Call to the Public. She presented the Council with the Museum's annual report, a rundown of restoration activities, and the events schedule for next season. (You can view the events schedule below the videos and the photos of the stamp mill.) Mrs. Johnson said the Museum, now closed for the summer, finished its 43rd season. It will reopen in October for its 44th season.
The Museum proudly tells the history of the Cave Creek Mining District. This includes what is now Carefree, Cave Creek, North Scottsdale, and parts of the area stretching south on Carefree Highway. Mayor David Schwan replied, "Thank you and best wishes for the Museum as you set up this summer for the coming season."
