Monday, May 8 @5:30p: NASA Timeline in Perspective
Where was Camp Verde and Where Were You When...?
You are invited to tell us where you were when man landed on the moon. What was going on in Camp Verde at the time? Is it true that Camp Verde paved Main Street for the first time the same day that Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon? Join Camp Verde Historical Society members, Nancy Tackitt and Jan Klann for an informal discussion around highlights on NASA's timeline as they relate to Camp Verde's history.
Included in the
Discover NASA: From Our Town to Outer Space exhibition is a timeline showing significant dates in NASA's history. Thanks to Camp Verde's Historical Society, we have put together a similar timeline showing what was happening in our town around those same dates. But, no timeline is complete without people who remember "those days" telling their stories. Anyone with memories of Camp Verde is welcome to come and share them with the rest of us.
Thursday, May 25 @6:30p: Meteorites Among Ancient Native Cultures
Presentation by Ken Zoll,
Executive Director of the Verde Valley Archaeology Center
The occurrence of meteorites on archaeological sites in North America has been known since the early 19th century. From the Hopewell culture in the eastern United States, to the Polar Eskimo, to the Indians in the American Southwest and northern Mexico, meteorites have been found on these ancient sites. Much like meteorite hunters of today, ancient Native American cultures actively engaged in meteorite collecting.
This talk by Ken Zoll, Executive Director of the Verde Valley Archaeology Center, will provide an overview of the locations of meteorite finds at ancient sites and their possible uses by these early cultures.
