SUMMARY:The Arizona Gold Mining Experience™
DESCRIPTION:Museum opens at 9:00 am for event check-in; the ARIZONA GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ begins at 10:00 am. \nThe Cave Creek Museum’s AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ is unique with its display of the complete hard rock ore extraction process\, with the mine shaft\, tramway\, ore carts\, crushing and extraction\, that are always on display\, but operated on 2nd Saturdays. The highlight is Arizona’s only fully operational ten-stamp ore crushing mill. The ten 1\,000-lb stamps slam down in synchronized motion to pound the ore removed from the mine into a fine gravel. The stamp mill was brought from its former location at the Golden Reef Mine on Continental Mountain to where it sits today. This is the only operational mining stamp mill in Arizona today that sits only 5 miles from its original site on the mountain. \nThe program begins with a lively recounting of Cave Creek Mining District’s heyday\, followed by a visit to the arrastre\, a primitive apparatus that pulverized ore with the power of beast or man. Hold onto your hats when the old mine blows its top! Then onto the Golden Reef Stamp Mill and Tramway\, where our highly trained and dedicated “Dream Team” fires up the engines of the stamp mill and once again the mountainsides echo with the crashing beat of the mechanical crusher. Watch as the tramway carries ore to be pulverized! \nThen onto the Blacksmith Shop for a demonstration of skill that was highly valued in a time where parts and tools had to be fabricated on site. Next be sure to try your luck at our Gold-panning station\, where docents will show you how to pan for ore and minerals just like the old prospectors did. Maybe you’ll strike gold! \nRemember\, your admission ($15 for guests 13 yrs and up\, children 12 yrs and under are free**) is also good for a leisurely tour of the Museum’s Historical and Archaeology collections and be sure to visit our other Outdoor Exhibits: the collection of many other articles from Cave Creek’s mining and agricultural past\, the Historic First Church\, and our TB Cabin\, which is on the National Register of Historic Places as the only known existing tubercular cabin from that era. \nGet ready to travel back in Time!\nNote: this program is approximately 1 hr and 15 minutes long and largely takes place in the Outside Exhibit Area. It is not ADA compliant. Footing is uneven and slightly hilly in places. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sunscreen! \n**Due to the popularity of The AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™\, tickets must be pre-purchased.  No Membership Discounts. Culture Passes will not be accepted for this event. \nxProduct()

SUMMARY:Cave Creek Museum Presents: “Desert Survival and Hiking Basics" with Paul Diefenderfer
DESCRIPTION:Cave Creek Museum Presents: “Desert Survival and Hiking Basics” with Paul Diefenderfer.  The desert is an unforgiving place\, with extreme temperatures\, limited water sources\, and potential wildlife encounters.  Trails are sometimes not well-marked and often follow natural contours of the landscape. You’ll may be navigating sections of trails that are ill-defined and cell service is hard to come by\, so you’ll want to know how to navigate canyons\, washes and boulders.  What should you carry?  When should you go?   How do you get help?  For newcomers to the Desert Foothills\, this is an invaluable presentation\, and even for old hands at desert hiking\, you could learn something new. \nPresenter Paul Diefenderfer is a hiker\, a mountain rescue specialist\, a rock climber\, a mountain biker\, a blacksmith\, a millman\, an artist\, an animal rescuer—and a valued volunteer at the Cave Creek Museum. \nAdmission is $10\, including an all-day Museum pass.  (No discounts or Culture Passes will be honored.)  FREE for members; advance reservations are required. \nxProduct()

SUMMARY:The Arizona Gold Mining Experience™
DESCRIPTION:Museum opens at 9.00 am for event check-in\, The ARIZONA GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ begins at 10:00 am. \nThe Cave Creek Museum’s AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ is unique with its display of the complete hard rock ore extraction process\, with the mine shaft\, tramway\, ore carts\, crushing and extraction\, that are always on display\, but operated on 2nd Saturdays. The highlight is Arizona’s only fully operational ten-stamp ore crushing mill. The ten 1\,000-lb stamps slam down in synchronized motion to pound the ore removed from the mine into a fine gravel. The stamp mill was brought from its former location at the Golden Reef Mine on Continental Mountain to where it sits today. This is the only operational mining stamp mill in Arizona today that sits only 5 miles from its original site on the mountain.   \nThe program begins with a lively recounting of Cave Creek Mining District’s heyday\, followed by a visit to the arrastre\, a primitive apparatus that pulverized ore with the power of beast or man. Hold onto your hats when the old mine blows its top! Then onto the Golden Reef Stamp Mill and Tramway\, where our highly trained and dedicated “Dream Team” fires up the engines of the stamp mill and once again the mountainsides echo with the crashing beat of the mechanical crusher. Watch as the tramway carries ore to be pulverized! \nThen onto the Blacksmith Shop for a demonstration of skill that was highly valued in a time where parts and tools had to be fabricated on site. Next be sure to try your luck at our Gold-panning station\, where docents will show you how to pan for ore and minerals just like the old prospectors did. Maybe you’ll strike gold! \n \nRemember\, your admission ($15 for guests 13 yrs and up\, children 12 yrs and under are free**) is also good for a leisurely tour of the Museum’s Historical and Archaeology collections and be sure to visit our other Outdoor Exhibits: the collection of many other articles from Cave Creek’s mining and agricultural past\, the Historic First Church\, and our TB Cabin\, which is on the National Register of Historic Places as the only known existing tubercular cabin from that era. \nRound off your day with the Gold Fever Adventure Package — Click here for more details. \nGet ready to travel back in Time! \nNote: this program is approximately 1 hr and 15 minutes long and largely takes place in the Outside Exhibit Area.

SUMMARY:Gold Fever Jeep Adventure
DESCRIPTION:This new and exclusive Cave Creek Museum adventure is a “must” for everyone! \nCave Creek Museum is partnering with Rackensack Canyon Tours to bring Arizona’s first and only total gold mining experience to life.  After seeing the interactive\, action-packed Arizona Gold Mining Experience (AZGME)\, Gold Fever lovers break for lunch and return to Cave Creek Museum to leave at 1:00pm for the 3-hour gold mine tour in a unique 9-passenger vehicle that takes you into the Continental Mountains and to the mine. The tour ascends to the Mountain Chaparral vegetation zone with absolutely breathtaking views up to a 4\,500-foot elevation. \nYour full-day immersible history of mining and the Cave Creek area consists of you attending the interactive Arizona Gold Mining Experience in the morning and the Gold Fever Adventure in the afternoon.  (These are purchased separately.) \nThe short ride to the summit can be a bit dusty and bouncy\, but is exhilarating fun with entertaining narration and educational photo stops along the trail.  You can enjoy complimentary refreshments with free time to relax on the patio while taking in the jaw-dropping vistas. \nYou then proceed to the gold mine where you are rewarded with a historic tableau of 1800’s artifacts excavated from the Ft. Worth Gold Mine site. This mine was part of the Historic Rackensack Mines\, which were instrumental in the founding of Cave Creek.  You will interact with the knowledgeable guide and follow the same vein of gold that Old Rackensack (a real person) chased in 1880. \nThis first-of-its kind adventure tour is the perfect way to learn about Arizona’s fascinating gold mining history while finding the “Gold Fever” within yourself. \nReservations are required in advance. No cancellations under 60 days. The new Gold Fever Adventure is limited to 9 guests.  Culture passes and discounts are not accepted for this event.  No passengers under 12 years of age. \nNote:  This adventure is approximately 3 hours.

SUMMARY:Cave Creek Museum Presents: German Prisoners of War in Arizona
DESCRIPTION:Although his “day job” is chief archivist at the celebrated Huhugam Ki Museum at the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community\, author Steve Hoza has long been fascinated by the history of the German prisoner-of-war camps that were established across the State of Arizona.  One was sprawled at the base of the Papago Buttes. From 1944 through the end of the war\, that particular encampment housed 2\,500 P.O.W.s and was even the site of a “Great Escape”\, when 25 of the prisoners tunneled out of the fenced camp — and most were promptly recaptured. Steve Hoza spent years interviewing former P.O.W.s\, the American soldiers who guarded them\, and the citizens who lived nearby.  In their own words and with dozens of historic photos\, Steve will share the story of the Arizona P.O.W. camps. \nAdmission is $10\, including an all-day Museum pass.  (No discounts or Culture Passes will be honored.)  FREE for members; advance reservations are required.

SUMMARY:The Arizona Gold Mining Experience™
DESCRIPTION:Museum opens at 9.00 am for event check-in\, The ARIZONA GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ begins at 10:00 am. \nThe Cave Creek Museum’s AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ is unique with its display of the complete hard rock ore extraction process\, with the mine shaft\, tramway\, ore carts\, crushing and extraction\, that are always on display\, but operated on 2nd Saturdays. The highlight is Arizona’s only fully operational ten-stamp ore crushing mill. The ten 1\,000 lb stamps slam down in synchronized motion to pound the ore removed from the mine into a fine gravel. The stamp mill was brought from its former location at the Golden Reef Mine on Continental Mountain to where it sits today. This is the only operational mining stamp mill in Arizona today that sits only 5 miles from its original site on the mountain.   \nThe program begins with a lively recounting of Cave Creek Mining District’s heyday\, followed by a visit to the arrastre\, a primitive apparatus that pulverized ore with the power of beast or man. Hold onto your hats when the old mine blows its top! Then onto the Golden Reef Stamp Mill and Tramway\, where our highly trained and dedicated “Dream Team” fires up the engines of the stamp mill and once again the mountainsides echo with the crashing beat of the mechanical crusher. Watch as the tramway carries ore to be pulverized! \nThen onto the Blacksmith Shop for a demonstration of skill that was highly valued in a time where parts and tools had to be fabricated on site. Next be sure to try your luck at our Gold-panning station\, where docents will show you how to pan for ore and minerals just like the old prospectors did. Maybe you’ll strike gold! \n \nRemember\, your admission ($15 for guests 13 yrs and up\, children 12 yrs and under are free**) is also good for a leisurely tour of the Museum’s Historical and Archaeology collections and be sure to visit our other Outdoor Exhibits: the collection of many other articles from Cave Creek’s mining and agricultural past\, the Historic First Church\, and our TB Cabin\, which is on the National Register of Historic Places as the only known existing tubercular cabin from that era. \nRound off your day with the Gold Fever Adventure Package — Click here for more info. \nGet ready to travel back in Time! \nNote: this program is approximately 1 hr and 15 minutes long and largely takes place in the Outside Exhibit Area. It is not ADA compliant. Footing is uneven and slightly hilly in places. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sunscreen! \n**Due to the popularity of The AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™\, tickets must be pre-purchased. No Membership Discounts.
