Team members have been instrumental in the renovation of several exhibits at the museum. We assisted with the re-creation of the ruins of the Spanish Colonial church of Guevavi, the site of the first Jesuit church in Arizona, established by Father Eusebio Kino. Our members donated both their time and expertise to enable the museum staff to authentically replicate the appearance of the ruins as they might have appeared after the church was abandoned.
We have completed the renovation of the Prehistory Wing of the museum
. The Hohokam compound, a pit house village and the representation of a mammoth
kill site from southern Arizona, have been constructed.
