Library History:

Completed in November 2008, The Queen Creek library was the first municipal building in Queen Creek designed and constructed with green building features and has been LEED Gold certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. The library was featured in the January 2009 edition of Cities Go Green magazine, a publication that focuses how local governments can become sustainable as quickly and effectively as possible.

The library was designed to provide a gathering place for people of all ages. It includes the Mary Lou Fulton Children's Center, Teen Oasis, general reading areas, public computers, study rooms, conference rooms and Town recreation programming space. The Town received a $1 million grant from Fulton Homes for the construction of design elements in the children’s and teen’s sections of the new library.

The library is a partnership between the Town of Queen Creek and the Maricopa County Library District. The Queen Creek branch library provides materials in all formats as well as adult and juvenile programming.

 

San Tan Historical Society: San Tan Museum-The "Great Bend of the Gila River" Monument

Adults, Teens

According to savingplaces.org, "the Great Bend of the Gila National Monument proposal in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, is 84,000 acres of what the National Trust for Historic Preservation believes is one of the [BLM’s] most important cultural sites in the Southwest... an important crossroads where the history of many people, cultures and ways of life have been written on the land". This deep history is preserved in a wide range of stunning archaeological resources tied to the area’s peculiar volcanic and riverine landscape. Rock art of the Western Archaic, Hohokam, Patayan, Yavapai, and Immigrant Anglo cultural traditions line canyon walls.

Dr. Aaron Wright is a Ph.D. in anthropology as well as a member of the Archaeology Southwest’s staff as a Preservation Fellow, having trained volunteers in archaeological survey methods and rock-art recording. Dr Wright has also written a book on Hohokam ritual behavior and landscape utilization.

This is a special event at the SAN TAN HISTORICAL MUSEUM, located at 20425 S Old Ellsworth Rd in Queen Creek (on the corners of Old Ellsworth and Queen Creek Rds.) Access is a short access road over to Old Ellsworth from the loop road. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month from September to May.
