Cave Creek Museum’s most precious asset is the rough-hewn Ten Stamp Mill. The Golden Reef Mine stamp mill plus how the museum acquired and relocated it from Continental Mountain is an epic and roaring story. Cave Creek’s resident historian and local storyteller, Kraig Nelson, will reveal the captivating and engaging narrative behind the founding of Cave Creek, the road and town, plus the role our stamp mill played in this fascinating history.
Presenter Kraig Nelson began as a docent at the Cave Creek Museum in 2008, became a regular columnist for the Museum’s newsletter in 2011 and the Museum Board elected him the Museum’s official historian in 2016. Kraig also co-authored the Museum’s 2013 book, “Images of America-Cave Creek and Carefree”. Kraig is a regular columnist for “A Peak at the Peak” and North Valley Magazine. He has been published in many other periodicals, including True West.
