    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (March 12, 2021) – The Dead would like to have some words with you. And so, begins a cemetery walk at Sedona’s oldest cemetery on April 30 and May 1, the Schuerman Red Rock Cemetery on the Upper Red Rock Loop Road.

    The Sedona Historical Society has announced that a limited number of ticket holders will travel back in time to meet some of Sedona’s earliest pioneers. These brave souls experienced triumph and tragedy while carving out a life in Red Rock country. “Voices from the Grave-Spring Spirits Rising” is an open-air cemetery tour with re-enactments by professional actors where original pioneers are interred. The show will include musical interludes and all ticket holders will receive a ‘swag’ bag of gifts and treats.

    The historic pioneers expected to ‘share’ their stories will be Jim Thompson, Oak Creek Canyon’s first permanent Anglo settler, Jesse Elmer, a homesteader and namesake of Elmersville, and Dorette Schuerman who established the cemetery with the burial of her little daughter, Clara in 1893. Guests will also meet members of the Kurtz and Jones families, along with hearing history about the earliest Hispanic families – the Chavezes and Armijos.

    Some of the ‘spirits’ of Sedona pioneers interred at the historic Schuerman Red Rock Cemetery are preparing to welcome visitors for an entertaining cemetery walk.

    Tickets are $25/person, must be purchased in advance, and are now available on the Society’s website SedonaMuseum.org. A similar show held at the historic Cook Cemetery last fall sold out in a few days, so it is recommended you get your tickets early. This program is not recommended for children under 13 years of age.

    Proceeds will benefit care and maintenance of the Society’s two historic cemeteries.

    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.
