    logo_sedonamuseumSedona AZ (March 27, 2013) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting the next in its Living History speaker series on Wednesday April 10 at 10:00 a..m. at the Museum. “Homesteading the Red Rocks in the 1920s-1930s: Archival and Archaeological Investigations of the Rogers and Rupe Homesteads” will feature Josh S. Edwards, a geoarchaeologist and consultant.

    20130327_468_Feature-3c-homestead1The Rupes and Rogers were homesteading families who obtained patents to their lands in 1927 and 1941, respectively, out in the Dry Creek area. This lecture will present the findings from excavations at the two homesteads, methods used during archival research, and the findings of this research. Edwards’ study was completed to assist Red Rock Aerie development to comply with federal law prior to subdividing and developing the two parcels. One surprising bit of information discovered is that George Rogers actually purchased the Rupe homestead before he completed the patent on his own homestead.

    Edwards earned his M.S. in Quaternary Sciences from Northern Arizona University and is the owner of Cornerstone Environmental Consulting in Flagstaff. His experience includes over eighteen years of archaeological survey and excavation in the Southwest with a continuing theme of human adaptation to environmental change. .

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
