    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (August 12, 2020) – The Sedona Historical Society announces that their newest and third historic photo collection is now available for view and research as part of the Arizona Memory Project. Entitled “Arizona’s Little Hollywood”, the 80+ photos chosen represent only a portion of the photos held by the Society that capture memorable moments in Sedona’s film-making history.

    During the golden era of westerns, almost every major studio and every famous film star came to Sedona to make a movie, most of them westerns. After World War II, it was not uncommon for two film crews to be in town shooting at the same time. Over more than three decades as “Arizona’s Little Hollywood”, as many as 100 feature films were made with red rock country backdrops.

    “We are thrilled to share images from our collection that illustrate some of those moments when the casting of Sedona scenery, movie stars and local residents coalesced into memorable cinematic moments.” said Janeen Trevillyan, Historian. “These photos are all available because people donated them to the Society and our Sedona Heritage Museum for long-term preservation. The Arizona Memory Project platform allows small volunteer organizations like ours to have an outreach we couldn’t have on our own”.

    One of the images featured in new online collection, John Wayne’s decision to produce his “Angel and the Badman” film in Sedona solidified the town’s place in movie-making history.

    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.
