The Sedona Heritage Museum is excited to announce the return of its popular Oak Creek Canyon guided history tours. This year the tours are offered April 22-25.
Tour attendees will enjoy a ride in a coach up and down Oak Creek Canyon, led by a Sedona Heritage Museum guide. Scheduled stops will occur at historical sites scattered throughout the Canyon. Roughly 20 historic sites are included on the Tour. Some of the sites will be pointed out from the coach while others will invite attendees to exit the coach and explore the site.
Stops include Slide Rock State Park, site of the Pendley family orchards; the Purtymun family’s Cave Springs kitchen; the Thompson springhouse; and the Forest Houses Resort, where the notorious Stopwatch Gang was apprehended after a run of thefts that made them the most successful bank robbers in history. Attendees will receive a program with historical photos from the Museum’s collection.
Tours leave each day from the Sedona Heritage Museum’s lower parking lot at 2 pm. The coach will return to the Museum’s lower parking lot at approximately 5 pm (pending traffic).
Attendees must have a ticket to participate in the tours. Tickets are available by calling the Sedona Heritage Museum or stopping by the Museum Store. Tickets are $85 for the general public, while Sedona Historical Society members receive discounted tickets for $75. Tickets are limited, so get your tickets today!
