The Historical League opened its 2023 Arizona Historymakers exhibit Oct. 14 at the Arizona Heritage Center at Papago Park, honoring the latest Historymakers and celebrating their legacy to the state.
Since 1992 the Historical League has recognized more than 80 men and women who have “distinguished themselves with noted achievements in such diverse areas… and who have maintained their ties to Arizona,” according to its website.
At the exhibit’s official ribbon cutting, Chair of the Historymakers Committee Diana Smith and Arizona Historical Society’s Executive Director David Breeckner gave some brief words about this year’s Historymakers before a more in-depth program led by journalist Carey Pena about their contributions to the state.
