    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (May 7, 2015) – After over two years, the only surviving building from the old Sedona western town movie set, has been restored and is once again available to the public.  To celebrate, the Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting a public grand opening of the historic telegraph office/movie set building on Saturday, May 16 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at the Museum.

    This community celebration starts with a dedication ceremony and recognition of donors and volunteers who have worked to bring back this long-lost piece of Sedona movie-making history.  The Mayor and other VIPs will be there. Tours of the building with special opportunities like sending a telegram and posing with a John Wayne look-alike are planned.  Mockups of future exhibits about Sedona movie history and telegraph history will be available for feedback and comment.  Everyone is invited to enjoy refreshments and a Patsy Cline tribute artist, who will perform in the Apple Packing Shed. 

    There will be time to meet the project volunteers, learn the story of this working telegraph office that transitioned to a movie prop, residence and now Museum exhibit.  Guests will see before and after photos and how local donations and support brought this piece of history back to vibrant life!  Museum admission will be free for the event.

    In addition, the Museum has several other special features planned for the day.  First, guests can see Oak Creek Canyon’s oldest firetruck, now newly restored.  The Story-Tellin’ Cowboy sculptures audio will be available for listening. 

    As a highlight of the day, the Museum will be wrapping up the sale of drawing tickets for an up to 10-day Holland America cruise to anywhere they sail for two people as a fundraiser.  The drawing will be held during the party and the lucky winner announced!  Funds will go toward the Museum’s next major project:  an exhibit on the history of Sedona area wine-making.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
