Stories from the Pierce Family and Homer Thiel
Saturday, February 1, 2025
10am-1pm
Come see us at the Arizona Heritage Center for a morning of inspiring genealogical stories that answer the question, “Why Arizona?”
“100 Years in the Making: A Journey from Oklahoma to Arizona, Letters from Janie and J.L. Pierce” is a presentation by the Pierce family, who discovered beautiful letters written by their great grandparents about life in the 1920s after the Oklahoma Massacre, and their move from Oklahoma to Arizona, where their family stayed for the next 100 years.
Our second guest speaker is Homer Thiel, historical archaeologist for Desert Archaeology, Inc., and President of the Tucson Presidio Trust. He has written a manuscript on the African Americans of Pima County, Arizona, and will discuss his genealogical research process and the stories he has learned along the way.

The National First Ladies Library and Museum is visiting Arizona, and excited to present a short program highlighting some of the “untold stories” of our nation’s First Ladies. These women were highly accomplished leaders who had a significant impact on the shape of our country and our culture, not only during their tenure as First Lady, but also throughout their lives. The presentation will also include historical references to First Ladies who have ties to Arizona, including Helen Taft, who was First Lady when Arizona became a state.
