    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (January 18, 2020) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is again presenting their popular historic sites tours of Oak Creek Canyon’s historic places on April 15, 16, 17 and 18 from 2-5 p.m. each day.

    These history roundups are guided tours of historic places from the top to the bottom of the canyon. In all, 20-some homesteads, squatters’ sites, campgrounds and other historic locations including stops at Bear Howard’s cabin, Purtymun’s Cave Springs kitchen, and the Thompson springhouse, among others will be visited.

    The tours will be once again guided by Sedona native Paul Thompson. Thompson is the grandson of pioneer homesteader Jim Thompson, the Sedona area’s first permanent white settler who came here in 1876; and son of Albert Thompson who wrote many of the stories in the book, “Those Early Days”. Paul’s recounting of canyon history is from his first hand knowledge from growing up there and from the stories he learned at the foot of Sedona’s pioneers themselves.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
