American Indian Art and Culture
Built in 1935 from native rock and timbers from the Prescott National Forest, the museum building was constructed using CCC and WPA funding, procurred by the one and only Grace Sparkes. The building, designed by Christopher Totten, is meant to resemple a Hopi Pueblo structure. Kate Cory, Artist of Arizona helped put the finishing touches on the building, including our Zuni two-sided fireplace.
