Ever wondered how Power, Sossaman, Hawes and Ellsworth roads got their names?  Who was Rittenhouse? Where was the first school? What was Frank Lloyd Wright's connection to the San Tan area? How did the community benefit from the German POWs? Who was the man on the mountain? Or Who started the Queen Creek Potato Company in 1932?

Find the answers to these questions and more at the San Tan Historical Society Museum. San Tan Historical Society Museum is located on the southeast corner of Queen Creek and Ellsworth Roads in Queen Creek. The museum is open to the public free of charge every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to take a few minutes to see the new displays, visit with the volunteers and browse the gift shop. Eagle Scout projects are also available. For questions or more information, please call 480-987-9380.

Help wanted! The San Tan Historical Society is seeking a volunteer research consultant to work on projects of his/her choice. The volunteer will determine the time spent. Make telephone calls, search the Internet, send letters, or explore library archives. The historical society will provide the researcher with business cards and some direction. It promises to be an educational and rewarding experience!
