Historic Ranch Walk & Stone Tool Demonstration Day
Join our naturalist for a walk around the Ranch to learn more about the people who lived there as well as the flora and fauna of our desert surroundings. Complimentary one-hour tours are scheduled at 9:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., and end at the Society-managed Heritage Garden, where you can visit the replica of a Hohokam pit house.
John Barthelme, archaeologist and Heritage Garden volunteer, will give a demo on stone tool making in the Heritage Garden between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. with obsidian for tool making, goggles, gloves, and band-aids. Also on display will be plastic replica human and pre-human skulls, as well as various African animal bones. Adults and children welcome!
We welcome Gap Ministries back to Steam Pump Ranch with their request for donations of resealable plastic bags, canned vegetables, and dish soap for use in their kitchens.
