    logo_clarkdalehistoricalsocietyClarkdale AZ (August 27, 2018) – On July 4, 2008, we opened the doors of the Clarkdale Heritage Center in the former Department of Motor Vehicles building. The building had undergone $50,000 to $60,000 worth of renovation from the original United Verde Copper Company’s medical clinic built in 1918.  Thanks to the Town of Clarkdale and Pat Williams, they had applied for a grant from the Arizona Rural Tourism Development Grant Program. Governor Janet Napolitano, in person, presented the check to the group.  Since then our name has changed and we want to show you who we are now and what we do.

    We invite you and your friends to the Clark Memorial Clubhouse Auditorium on Saturday, September 15, between 10:00 and 3:00 to help us celebrate. There will be a power point presentation at 11:00 and stories told by local residents taken from oral histories.  And don’t forget to bring your special Clarkdale items or photos that you would like to donate to us.

    “Treasures from the Archives” are items we have brought out for this special event. “First Fridays at the Museum” is a popular time to listen to speakers from the area tell their stories and share their knowledge of certain historical events, places and people. The fall schedule will be announced at this time. Information about the 10th Anniversary Historic Building and Home Tour on April 13, 2019, and visit with some of the actors from our famous June 21, 1928 Bank Robbery Reenactment.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
