Casa Grande, AZ Historic Timeline

Our timeline begins about 700 A.D., some 1,300 years ago, with the Hohokam Indians who were beginning to settle in our valley. They dug irrigation ditches along the Gila River to provide water for their fields.

About 1200 A.D. scientists think that the Casa Grande or “Big House” was built. The Casa Grande Ruins National Park is located 15 miles east of the city of Casa Grande near Coolidge, AZ.

In 1687 A.D. Father Kino passed through this area on a missionary journey. He held mass at the Casa Grande ruins at that time.

Many years passed. In 1848, gold was discovered in California and many gold seekers passed through Arizona on their way to the gold fields. Many unhappy gold hunters came back to Arizona to settle and to farm or ranch.

In 1853 A.D. the Gadsden Purchase added land south of the Gila River to what is now Arizona.

1850-1890 Troops from the territory were sent to fight in the Civil War. This led to a period of Indian unrest and uprising in the Arizona Territory.
1875 Pinal County was created.
1877 The Desert Land Act was passed by Congress. It gave 640 acres of desert land to those who would irrigate and live on the land for three years.
1878 Casa Grande begins with five residents.
1879 The city begins to grow. It is known as Terminus. The Reward Mine opened and a wagon road was completed from Maricopa Wells to Phoenix.

Archival Box PROJECT Casa Grande Valley Historical Society

TEACHER INFORMATION: Updating Content and Inventory Sheets before Circulation

With each box there should be a copy of the matching Inventory Sheet. When the boxes are being packed up and put away, one or more students should be assigned the duty of doing an inventory of the contents of each box.

A space is provided for the students to put the symbol of the box, the date they used the box, and their teacher’s name.

As the items are placed back in the box, a check in the box to the left of the description of the item shows that it has been placed in the box.

The teacher checks the Teacher’s Box. He or she collects all the Inventory Sheets. Please look them over to see that they have been properly completed. The sheets are to be turned over to the library media specialist in the school library when the boxes are returned.

New copies of the Inventory Sheets must be inserted in the boxes prior to the Project going to a new classroom. Mrs. Ridgeway or a representative of the Historical Society will collect the Inventory Sheets and note any missing or broken items.

For further information call Mrs. Ridgeway at home, 520-421-1376, or the Historical Society at 520-836-2223.

F. Basic concepts in creation and use of The Artifact Box Project A primary resource is part of a direct personal experience or event. A secondary resource provides information about a person or event and is often written or collected long after an event took place. An artifact is an object, usually created for a practical purpose from a specific period of time, often characteristic or resulting from a human activity. Now practice identifying primary and secondary resources.

The Artifact Box Project Casa Grande Valley Historical Society

Arizona Social StudiesStandard 1:  History Adopted 3/27/00    

Students analyze the human experience through time, recognizing the relationship of events and people, and interpret significant patterns, themes, ideas, beliefs, and turning points in Arizona, American, and world history.

The essential skill under which the Archival Box Project was developed in 2004 was: 1SS-E1: Understand and apply the basic tools of historical research, including chronology and how to collect, interpret, and employ information from historical materials.

This project was funded by the Arizona Historical Records Advisory Board (AHRAB), Arizona State Library, with funds provided by the National Preservation & Records Commission (NPRC).  The project falls under NRPC Priority 1. ) Identify, preserve, and promote awareness of historically valuable records.  The grant was for $1,000.  This amount was matched on a ratio of 1:4 by the cost of volunteer time to create The Artifact Box Project.

Product: Volunteers at the Society have created:

• seven boxes, each dedicated to a specific period of Arizona history, containing primary and secondary sources and artifacts;
• one teacher’s box containing resources to assist him or her in reinforcing the STANDARD, and
• an introductory presentation that can be made by Historical Society volunteers.

Primary sources are original items or records that have survived from the past, such as clothing, letters, photographs, and manuscripts that were part of a direct personal experience of a time or event.      PO 2

Secondary sources are created by documenting or analyzing someone else’s experience to provide a perspective or description of a person and may have been written long after an event took place.  These include books, atlases, and other types of books.  PO 2

Artifacts are objects created by humans, usually for a practical purpose.  These objects remain from particular periods and are characteristic of or resulting from a human activity.

Replicas are copies, sometimes by the original artist or creator, and exact in all details.  Generally, replicas are not valued as highly as original or unique items.

A chronology (or timeline) results when a person arranges objects and resources in order by date, as in the occurrence of events in history.  PO 1

In April 2004, Merrilyn Ridgeway, Grants Committee Chair at the Casa Grande Valley Historical Society contacted David Hoober, Arizona State Library, inquiring about the possibility of submitting a proposal to AHRAB for its 2004 grant cycle. After discussing the project in concept, a letter was submitted outlining the project proposal. In a subsequent telephone call, Hoober and Ridgeway further discussed the budget and details of the proposal were clarified. Upon submission, the Board approved the proposal and, following completion of the project, its final report was accepted. PLEASE NOTE: AHRAB funding encourages only projects that meet its goals. All proposals undergo analysis based upon current grant guidelines and available funding. Contact the Arizona State Library for more information.

Mrs. Walter and Mrs. Ridgeway worked with the Executive Director of the Casa Grande Valley Historical Society to determine the seven time periods for the boxes. These time periods coincide with information provided in displays at the Historical Society’s Museum. They are:

Pre-1000 A.D. – Hohokam, Anasazi and Salado Peoples
1. 1671-1776 A.D. – Exploration and Settlement by the Spanish
2. 1848-1881 A.D. – The Mexican War and Effects of the Gadsden Purchase
3. 1880-1910 A.D. – Territorial Days and Establishment of Casa Grande
4. 1912-1935 A.D. – Statehood and the Years Before and After World War I
5. 184901855 A.D. - World War II and the Years that Followed
6. 1960-present – Arizona Today

The Society’s collection policy prohibits the handling of artifacts, primary and secondary resources that have been accessioned into the collection. The objects for the archival boxes were purchased or obtained specifically for the project. Two actual artifacts from the Society’s collection are included in the Teacher’s Box as examples. They are:Grinding Stone, artifact #91-2.283 Polishing Stone, small artifact (no number)

In a museum setting, artifacts are handled with extreme care to assure that they are not broken, torn, or damaged. To help convey this value to students, two pairs of white cotton gloves are included in each box and students are instructed to wear them when handling the objects in the boxes. Extra gloves are in the Teacher’s Box.

The types of resources/objects in each box include:

• Reference books and other non-fiction materials about Arizona history and geography;
• Brochures from state and national parks as well as historic sites around Arizona;
• Programs, newspapers, fiction books, letters, posters, maps, CDs, postcards, and other publications;
• Artifacts and replicas including pins, buttons, household objects, tools, miniatures and models, fabrics and clothing, art and archeological items, etc.

A symbol, not dates, is used on the outside of each box to identify the time period of the objects within. This was done so that the initial student activity could be analysis by a team of students of the objects within each box, then the teams arranging the seven boxes in chronological order

.

Significance of the Artifact Box Project

The Society’s mission includes an educational role since it is only by bringing young people into contact with museums during their school years that future generations of adults will value museums. The Society has traditionally provided docent-led field trip experiences for all the schools, especially the elementary schools. However, as curriculum demands have become more stringent and the cost of transportation has increased, there has been a decline in the number of teachers making arrangements to bring their classes to the museum.

In preparation of the project proposal, Casa Grande Elementary School District (CGESD) Superintendent Frank Davidson and Mary Peoples, Principal of St. Anthony’s Catholic School, Casa Grande, expressed enthusiasm and support for integrating this project—and others that could potentially benefit teaching and learning--into the curriculum.

Members of the Society met with CGESD Curriculum Director Barbara Wright this Fall to display the contents of one of the boxes and to discuss the relevance of the project to the 4th grade History Standard. Mrs. Wright suggested that the boxes be managed within the school by the library media specialist and agreed to provide a forum to introduce the project to 4th grade teachers early in the semester. Based upon their response, the Artifact Box Project will be scheduled at each of the district’s schools. Mrs. Walter agreed to work directly with classroom teachers and Mrs. Ridgeway to be the project contact between the Historical Society and the teachers/school library media specialist to keep track of the inventory within the boxes and the Teacher’s materials.

In order to encourage teacher participation and enhance the value of the materials to specific classroom instruction, Mrs. Wright and the project team agreed that teachers could choose to retain all the boxes for up to two weeks following the introduction of the Artifact Box Project so that he/she could utilize any of the suggested activities, or create his/her own. At the end of the two week period, the boxes would be inventoried and returned to the school library/media center for circulation to other classrooms.

After the 2005-2006 school year, the Artifact Box Project will be made available to other schools in the Casa Grande area. If the school district wishes to have its own Artifact Box Project permanently, district funding may be allocated for it or a private funding source will be sought. The Society has agreed to assist in the creation of any future project.

Partnerships Lead to Better Projects

Identify the need-

• Schools aren’t bringing students to the Museum
• How can we reach out to teachers and students?

Identify the strategy-

• How can we deliver the Museum to the school rather than the schools coming to the Museum?

Determine the costs-

• How much cash do we need?
• How much time will it take?

Identify one or more funding sources-

• Who funds this kind of project?
• Who shares our goals and purposes?
• Who will understand and appreciate being associated with the proposed benefit?

Create the project within the guidelines-

• Try to talk the project through with all potential partners before beginning
• Know what each partner will do and know what they won’t
• Follow the directions!
• Meet the deadlines!
• Do what we say we will do!

Student Exercise

DIRECTIONS: Two people each put on a pair of white gloves. Those people may each take an object from the box and hold it while the team identifies the object.

Slide-Time Periods

The early peoples of Arizona: The Hohokam, Anasazi, and Salado

Pre-1000 A.D. These native peoples are studied as part of the Arizona educational standards for grades 4 and 5. They left artifacts and archeological remnants of their civilizations that can be visited in our state and influence Arizona culture today.

The exploration and settlement of Arizona and the Southwest by the Spanish

strong>1671-1776 A.D. Father Kino and Coronado are two of the most famous names among those who carried the Spanish flag into what is today Arizona. The animals and plants that were introduced are among the staples of the economy of the Southwest. The blending of cultures begun at this time has enormous significance today.

The Mexican War and the effects of the Gadsden Purchase

strong>1848-1881 A.D. The future of state of Arizona was determined by the outcome of the battles between the United States and Mexico and the boundary established by the Gadsden Purchase

Territorial Days and the establishment of the city that is Casa Grande

strong>1880- 1910 A.D. During this period the native peoples were forced to accept the white settlers and others seeking a new life away from the devastation of the Civil War and economic hardship, or toward fulfillment of their spiritual ideals. The coming of the railroad was a significant step in bringing Arizona to statehood and in the establishment of Casa Grande.

Statehood and the years before and after World War I

strong>1912-1935 A.D. Arizona achieved statehood. Its natural resources, healthful climate, and apparently unlimited opportunity drew people from all walks of life. The five Cs (Cotton, Cattle, Citrus, Climate, Copper) became the keys to the state’s economic growth.

World War II and the years that followed

strong>1940-1955 A.D. With the entry of the United States into the conflict, Arizona’s citizens were thrown into an international conflagration with internment and POW camps as neighbors. Technologies and mechanization outpaced anything seen before. The face of the nation and the roles of its citizens is permanently changed.

Arizona today

strong>1960-present The ways that we record and retain information are changing rapidly. Helping to identifying what items are meaningful and assuring that our legacy, the stories of our forebears--people still living or who have already passed on--is documented may be the most important role each of us can play in keeping history alive and meaningful for generations to come.

Slide-What is a Primary Source

A primary source is an original item or record that has survived from the past, such as letters, drawings, documents, photographs, possibly newspapers, maps and manuscripts. It is part of a direct personal experience or event.

WHAT IS A SECONDARY SOURCE?

Any record or analysis of someone else’s experience may be a secondary source. It may provide a description of a person or event. It may have been written or recorded long after an event took place. Secondary sources generally include books, atlases, maps, magazines, possibly newspapers, and other published materials.

WHAT IS AN ARTIFACT?

An artifact is an object, usually created for a practical purpose in a specific period of time, often characteristic of or resulting from a human activity.

WHAT IS A REPLICA?

A replica is a copy, sometimes by the original artist or creator, and exact in all details. Generally, replicas are not valued as highly as original or unique items.

Slide-Why Were These Boxes Created

It is important to use local history resources to:

• Show why local history organizations are relevant in today’s community;
• Demonstrate proper handling of artifacts and historic documents;
• Provide vibrant evidence of the state’s and community’s past;
• Help show how everyday objects and documents tell stories;
• Educate people about the value of preserving their own family documents and possessions;
• Connect local history organizations to potential donors of artifacts, encourage membership, and market museums and programs to the public.

This project would not have been possible without funding from the
Arizona Historical Records Advisory Board. 
The funds came through a grant provided by the National Historical Publications &
Records Commission and the
Arizona State Library
