    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (March 8, 2012) – The Sedona Heritage Museum will host a Sedona Historic Homes & Sites Tour on Saturday, April 28, in celebration of Arizona’s centennial.

    Twelve historic places within the Sedona city limits will be open for tour and interpretation. They range from a homesteader’s log cabin to one of the first homes in the first Sedona subdivision. Native red rock homes built in the 1930s and 1940s will provide an insight into local craftsmen and materials. Special homes never on public tour before include four mid-20th century modern homes, including a home designed by Howard Madole, Sedona’s first architect. Additional stops include the town’s first cemetery where T.C. and Sedona Schnebly are buried, along with our first store, the historic heart of the arts community that began its’ life as a fruit packing shed, and the Sedona Heritage Museum’s historic buildings.

    “This tour was created to celebrate Arizona’s Centennial and share Sedona’s rich heritage of designated historic Landmarks”, said the City’s Historic Preservation Commission Chair Brynn Unger. Event Chairperson, Beth Lanzoni observes that this is a “rare opportunity to see the historic private homes – some of Sedona’s hidden historic treasures.”

    The tour sites open at 9:00 a.m. Guests should pickup their tickets, maps and souvenir books at the Museum before proceeding. At 3:00 p.m. after the tour, participants are invited to return to the Museum for a reception, refreshments and a brief speaker program.

    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.
