Historians, educators and authors will be at the 13th annual Western History Symposium to talk about all things relevant to Arizona’s western heritage.

The Western History Symposium is an annual event featuring informative presentations related to a variety of western subjects such as honky tonks, brothels, mining camps; and entertainment on the frontier.

The all-day event consists of hour-long presentations from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. An evening presentation will be held in conjunction with the regular monthly dinner meeting of the Corral.

Another topic for presentation will be Annie Neal, the Black Cherokee princess who hosted royalty and the rich and famous at her luxurious Arizona hotel.

Arizona and the Medal of Honor – from the Indian War to VietNam will make up another presentation.

If you’re interested in baseball, you’ll want to join us to hear about the history of baseball in the Arizona Territory.

Touching on history will be the presentation of “Pursuing the Black-on-Gray: West Central

Arizona’s Ancient People.”

The Symposium is free and open to the public for all talks. Reservations are not required.

Symposium attendees are welcome to attend the Corral’s monthly dinner prior to the evening talk. Reservations and advance payment are required for the dinner, but neither are required if you only wish to attend the talk after the dinner. Seating may be limited.
