Golf tourney to raise money for historical museum

The Maricopa Historical Society is holding its first Historic Golf Tournament on Oct. 16 at The Duke at Rancho El Dorado.

The tournament is being held to raise money for a historical museum and as a kick off to Stage Coach Days, Oct. 21- 22.

Many “first families” in Maricopa have artifacts dating back to the 1800s that the society would like to showcase. The city has a rich history in farming, the railroad and the stagecoach. 

“I hope the community will pull together helping the Maricopa Historical Society build a museum for visitors, school kids and residents to know and see their history,” said Brenda Hermanson, historical society board member and fundraising chair.
