SUMMARY:Valley Forge Diorama
DESCRIPTION:The Saguaro Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) is proud to share a remarkable handmade diorama depicting Valley Forge\, on loan for public display at HD SOUTH\, Home of the Gilbert Historical Museum. This intricate\, handcrafted scene honors the endurance\, sacrifice\, and unity of those who fought for America’s independence—and stands as a tribute to the creativity and collaboration of local DAR members and their families. The project began when DAR member Vergie McDavid and her daughter discovered a box of Revolutionary War soldiers in a thrift store. With the help of fellow members and family\, those small figures were transformed into a vivid representation of the harsh winter encampment at Valley Forge. The diorama captures the early struggles at Valley Forge—when soldiers endured bitter cold and hunger—and highlights the vital support of the Oneida Nation\, who brought corn and supplies to help sustain the Continental Army. It serves as a powerful reminder that the founding of our nation was the result of many peoples and cultures working together in hope of a better life. \nOpen Tuesday through Saturday 10am to 4pm. Please be advised this is a ticketed event.

SUMMARY:Founding Values: Citizen Control with General H.R. McMaster
DESCRIPTION:Founding Values is an event series designed for ASU and the surrounding community to distance ourselves from partisan politics and reflect on the values represented in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.\n\nThe semiquincentennial\, the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding\, offers us a unique and timely opportunity to ask if we are upholding those values\, and what we can do as a community to protect those values—if we think that they ought to be protected.\n\nThis event will feature a keynote lecture by General McMaster focused on the founding value of civilian control of the military. Following the lecture\, a cadet-moderated conversation will take place\, applying those lessons to today’s civil-military challenges\, including political polarization\, social-media pressures on apolitical service\, the domestic use of forces\, and the citizen-soldier ideal.

SUMMARY:Sharlot M. Hall Statue Dedication & Free Day at Sharlot Hall Museum
DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary new bronze statue depicting Sharlot M. Hall\, one of Arizona’s most revered pioneers\, will soon grace the beautiful rose garden at the Sharlot Hall Museum. Created by award-winning Prescott-based sculptor Heather Johnson Beary\, the nearly seven-foot-tall statue is slated for installation this fall and will celebrate Hall’s enduring legacy as a poet\, storyteller\, and historian.\n\nBeary was selected by George Fuller\, a former board member of the museum and long-time supporter\, who commissioned the sculpture. Fuller’s generous donation to fund the creation of the statue was described by the museum’s Executive Director\, Stuart Rosebrook\, as a historic gift.\n\n“We are beyond grateful to be receiving this remarkable gift to the museum\,” said Rosebrook. “It will be only the second statue of this style in the area depicting a person from our recent past\, other than the Ernest A. Love statue at the Prescott Regional Airport. This is a historic moment for our area and\, of course\, for the museum. We are so grateful to George for this marvelous gift.”\n\nThe statue portrays Hall around 1940\, standing confidently in a split skirt\, binoculars in hand\, and her poetry book held close to her chest. At her feet\, elements of the high desert come to life with a cactus\, pine\, and horned toad\, paying homage to her poetry and to Arizona’s rich natural heritage. With a caring expression and a knowing smile\, the sculpture captures Hall’s pioneering spirit and her lasting impact on the state.\n\n“I have wanted to create a Sharlot statue for about 25 years\, and to now have the opportunity is amazing\,” said Beary. “She is such a role model to so many people\, especially to me\, with her incredible pioneering spirit and the fact that she always spoke her mind.”\n\nKnown for her extraordinary talent and meticulous detail\, Beary has created monumental bronze sculptures showcased around the world\, from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to Zion National Park\, and in the collections of Richard Branson. Her passion for the Southwest—its landscapes\, history\, and stories—deeply informs her work\, making her an ideal artist to honor Sharlot M. Hall’s enduring legacy.
