Did
you know that the area around Fountain Hills, Rio Verde, Tonto
Verde and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation teems with history
and adventure.
Some
15 years ago, a group of culturally - minded Fountain Hills residents
formed a Historical Society which has become known for its dinners,
social gatherings, trips and interesting projects appealing to
people of various cultural interests.
In
2003, the Historical Society opened its " crown jewel,"
a museum themed around the history of the Verde River and the
civilizations it made possible. This " River of Time Museum
" was funded jointly by the town and private contributions.
It was built as a part of the new Community Center complex.

You

The
Museum is a dramatically designed facility of audio visuals, murals,
exhibits, artifacts and relics depicting the evolution of the
area from prehistoric times to the present. Compliant with the
American Disabilities Act for the hearing impaired.

A land of the
ages ... nurtured by the Verde River ...
- Prehistoric
animals and humans once roamed here - an ancient Hohokam Indian
Community called Azatlan was situated between Fountain Hills and
Rio Verde.
- The mountain
men and gold seekers came - and the U.S. Cavalry. Ranchers and
farmers followed, with farmers forming a settlement about 25 miles
away on the Salt River which they named "Phoenix."
- Dams were
built to tame the Salt and Verde Rivers, while the Yavapai Indians
worked to establish their new community on the site of the former
Fort McDowell army Post.
- Ranchers,
farmers and Native Americans lived in harmony on the land. In
the late 1960's, entrepreneurs created the new communities of
Fountain Hills and Rio Verde.
