This month, Cave Creek Museum is hosting two patriotic themed events to help locals learn more about American history and honor those who served our country.

Celebrate the U.S.A. on May 15

This event is free to the public.

The Unknown Soldier Story
Cave Creek Museum will host “The Unknown Soldier Story” on May 21 from 2-4 p.m. May 21 is the perfect time to learn more about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and its connection to our troops and veterans – especially with Memorial Day around the corner on May 30.
