    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (January 15, 2019) – The Sedona Heritage Museum has announced the opening of their newest temporary exhibit, a display of Sedona and Arizona maps. Entitled “Maps In Our Lives”, the exhibit features almost all hand-drawn maps that include Sedona as part of their geography, yet focus on a variety of themes. Several are colorful; some are cartoonish; a few are Sedona tourism maps of the past; and others are maps that try to preserve historic routes that included Sedona before there was a “Sedona”.

    “Illustrations and maps were the primary forms of mass communication before the printing press.” said Becky Kruse, Exhibits Committee Chair. “Even drawings in the sand, rocks or on rock walls told us where to go and how to get there. This is why we were interested in having this exhibit that features some of the maps in the Museum’s permanent collection.”

    20190115_map-dusterTo augment the exhibit of maps, historical items associated with early auto travel are also featured, including a 100+ year old “duster” or car coat used by a local Sedona pioneer woman when riding in a Model T on dusty local roads. Another exhibit vignette is inspired by the book “Traveling by Tin Lizzie” by local author Laura Purtymun McBride. Laura’s book tells the story of her family’s 9-state auto trip in 1924 while the family looked for work. The vignette highlights items that “might have been” taken by the family on the road. Some 1940s era tin toy cars are also on display.

    The exhibit is scheduled through August 2019.

    The Sedona Heritage Museum is located at 735 Jordan Road in Jordan Historical Park in Uptown Sedona and is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For more information, call 928-282-7038.

    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.
