THANKS to David Stanton!

Our sincere thanks to wood window repair specialist David Stanton of Stanton Advantage, LLC for sharing his time and craftsmanship to restore the beauty of historic Smurthwaite House on a number of windows and doors! She's BEAUTIFUL! Enjoy some of our "before" and "after" photos of his amazing work!

It's Been A Fabulous Month for Tours!

February brought many new friends to historic Smurthwaite House and Pioneer & Military Memorial Park! We were honored to host Charles Trumbull Hayden Chapter DAR, Shadow Mountain Senior Center, and Camelback Chapter DAR!

Pioneers' Cemetery Association is available to provide tours of the house and cemetery grounds, host meetings and events, and make your visit one of the friendliest around! You may choose tours of the house, cemetery (closed toe shoes suitable for outdoor walking is important!), or BOTH!

Groups of 5 or more are asked to contact us to best accommodate a tour tailored to YOUR group needs. You may contact us any time at pioneercem@yahoo.com or check our Calendar page and submit an Event form.

We look forward to sharing stories of historic downtown Phoenix through our facilities and knowledgeable docents!

Thanks to All Who Joined the Victorian Valentine Party!

Our thanks to ALL who stopped by our Open House Saturday, January 27 to make the day EXTRA special and CLEARLY full of LOVE! A huge shout-out of thanks for all of the card supplies and extra-special touches as well as the world's biggest cheerleaders - a round of applause for Team leaders Debe Branning and Cindy Lee! Pioneers' Cemetery Association appreciates the community's support of this fun way to promote Grave Marker Preservation!

Thank you, friends - new flooring!

We are sincerely grateful to Desert Sage Questers and Phoenix Antiques, Bottles, & Collectibles Club for their generous donations to enable us to proceed with new flooring in the kitchen and bathroom of the historic Smurthwaite House! The project took place the end of October 2017 under the supervision of volunteers Mark Lamm and Kim Kasper. The pattern is a likeness to what is seen in photos of the Smurthwaite family! Thanks to all for such gorgeous work!

Thanks to Our Eagle Scout Projects!

Historic Cemetery Walks

Volunteers of Pioneers' Cemetery Association will occasionally host events in which they will recreate accounts of the lives of those buried in our historic cemeteries. Thanks to Debe Branning for producing and allowing us to share this video!
