What a collection - some 80,000 pieces that represent so many historical aspects of Mesa. Don’t you want to preserve what is in this wonder place - The Mesa Historical Museum?I was introduced to Lisa Anderson, Director, Mesa Historical Museum at the last budget meeting. With the new budget cuts it’s future could be uncertain. I learned that last time it rained the basement was flooded putting many pieces in danger of being ruined. A local business finally responded and helped clear out the water!This is one of those special parts of Mesa that needs to be preserved - but how? Hopefully, someone or something will come to pass to help keep in place this rich collection of Mesa’s heritage and it’s ability to "stay in business"!

Great subject Sharon. Very few people know about the museum which is located in Lehi. Most everyone knows about the Southwest Museum and the Museum for Youth both located in down town Mesa, but the Historical Museum seems to be forgotten. The people who do know about this museum think its the Mormon History Museum which just isn’t true.
Later this year, the Historical Museum will be launching some new and exciting exhibits, and as they come I’ll be blogging about them.
I’ll be looking forward to the new exhibits the Mesa Historical Museum will be offering. Can’t wait to read about them as they become a feature.
Will be looking for your blogs! Thanks Steve.
