CITY COUNCIL REPORT
GENERAL INFORMATION
TO:	Rick Naimark Deputy City Manager	PACKET DATE:		October 22, 2009
FROM:	Dale Larsen Director, Parks And Recreation Department
SUBJECT:	PUEBLO GRANDE MUSEUM 80TH ANNIVERSARY

 

This report provides the City Council with a brief history and summary of achievements of the Parks and Recreation Department’s Pueblo Grande Museum, which is celebrating its 80^th Anniversary in October 2009.

 

THE ISSUE

 

The Pueblo Grande Museum is celebrating its 80^th Anniversary this October.  It has been an important and unique resource to the City of Phoenix and its visitors since joining the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department in 1929.  Pueblo Grande continues its dedication to the ongoing research of the Hohokam culture, preservation of its prehistoric site, and providing educational programming for the public.  By including Pueblo Grande Museum as part of the Parks and Recreation Department, the City of Phoenix recognized the importance of this site and its relevance to the history of the Hohokam people who first inhabited Arizona, making Pueblo Grande the only preserved prehistoric village site within the City.

 

Pueblo Grande Museum’s 95-acre campus includes a museum, outdoor exhibits, a one-mile interpretive trail, and numerous Hohokam archaeological features.  The southern portion of the park preserves the segments of a prehistoric canal system in an area known as the Park of Four Waters which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963.  The platform mound, ball court, and surrounding areas were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964, and these are the only National Historic Landmarks in Phoenix.

 

Awards:

·        The museum has been recognized as a unique city landmark by the citizens of Phoenix who selected it as a City of Phoenix Point of Pride in 1992.

·        Pueblo Grande Museum was accredited by the American Association of Museums in 1999 and is one of only 776 accredited museums of the 17,000 museums nationwide.

·        In 2006, the Museum Association of Arizona presented Pueblo Grande Museum with an award of excellence for outstanding performance and leadership in the museum community.

·        In 2007, the Governor’s Archaeology Advisory Commission recognized the museum with the Governor’s Award for Public Archaeology for outstanding work in a public sector archaeology program.

 

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Pueblo Grande Museum is home to the City of Phoenix Archaeologist, the first City Archaeologist in the nation.  The museum also acts as the repository for all archaeological investigations within Phoenix, housing artifacts and archival materials produced by ensuing projects.  Storing and caring for these unique archaeological collections is a major role for the museum and allows students, scholars, archaeologists, and the general public access to a one-of-a-kind facility.  The archaeology section publishes various materials including archaeological investigations, archaeology and history reports, and popular books based on data related to City of Phoenix archaeology projects and the museum’s collections.

 

Today, Pueblo Grande Museum is an important educational resource for Arizona’s primary and secondary schools.  More than 10,000 elementary school students visit the museum each year because it is the only place in Phoenix that meets the Arizona Academic Standards section for Arizona prehistory.  Furthermore, thousands of university and community college professors send their students to visit the museum as part of their class work in anthropology, construction, engineering, and teacher certification.  The museum also hosts interns from universities and community colleges for work experience and job training.

 

Pueblo Grande has a long history of collaboration with local American Indian tribal communities.  The museum has an American Indian Advisory Council that ensures the museum presents information about their ancestors in a thoughtful and culturally appropriate manner.

 

In order to broaden the museum’s audience, Pueblo Grande Museum has partnered with many different tourism entities and strives to provide a facility and park to accommodate guests of all abilities.  With the recent opening of the METRO Light Rail, the museum has direct access to thousands of commuters traveling past the site.  In order to maximize this opportunity, in October 2009 the museum will begin the planning process to extend the entrance walkway from the museum entrance to the 44^th Street light rail station using Phoenix Percent for Arts funding.

 

The site of Pueblo Grande has been in existence for more than a thousand years and has served millions of visitors.  From the Hohokam village and canal headgates to the rediscovery of the canal system by early settlers, to the repository and research aspects of the facility, to the development of the museum as an educational resource and cultural vacation destination, Pueblo Grande continues to play a vital role for the City of Phoenix.
