The Arizona Historical Society, in partnership with Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, will host Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors, a special exhibit from the George W. Bush Institute, this fall.
Growing out of President George W. Bush’s personal commitment and the ongoing work of the Bush Institute’s Military Service Initiative, Portraits of Courage brings together sixty-six full-color portraits and a four-panel mural painted by President Bush of 98 service members and veterans who have served our nation with honor since 9/11, and whom the President has come to know personally since leaving office.
Join us as Lisa Schnebly Heidinger tells the story of her grandmother, Sedona Schnebly.
Arriving in Arizona Territory in 1901, Sedona and her husband, T.C. Schnebly planted orchards and hosted early tourists in the city now named Sedona.
Lisa is a popular speaker and was voted OneBookAZ author for the state centennial book. Tuesday, August 21 from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm with a book signing following the talk from 7:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Free. RSVP [email protected] or 480-929-0292 by August 19.
