Ghost Tour and Walking Tour 10/25/08 |
|
Have you heard about our annual Ghost Tour? We started the Ghost Tour last
October to rip-roaring success, and decided to make it an annual event.
This year's tour is Saturday, October 25th at 10am. The tour departs from the corner of Main and Macdonald in downtown Mesa. Docents
will lead visitors to a variety of historic buildings downtown that are
rumored to be haunted, telling their exhilarating stories along the
way.
Pre-registration ($15) is required, and can be done in
person at the museum, by phone (480-835-7358), or on the museum's
website. (Buy your tickets early, as they are limited, and it may fill
early this year!)

Meet Our Interns
|
Over
the summer we were lucky enough to have three wonderful college
interns. We've added a section to our website to highlight both our
internship program, and our recent interns.
Here's a taste of what one of our summer interns, Nicole, had to say about the experience:
"To
be honest, when my advisor at Northern Arizona University told me about
an internship at the Mesa Historical Museum my first thought was "Mesa
has a historical museum?" I had expected to find a one room building
with lots of old photos and lots of old farm equipment. Well I did find
that but luckily there was so much more to it than that. Yes there are
lots of photos and there is definitely more farm equipment than I
imagined. The Mesa Historical Museum is a spot where learning takes
place whether you are a visitor, an intern, or a full time employee.
From this museum I have learned much about Mesa, much more than I have
learned in my five years as a resident; however my learning goes much
further beyond that."
