Town of Camp Verde Approves 10-Year Lease


The Town of Camp Verde has approved a 10-year lease with the Center for the building on Main Street that currently houses the Visitor Center.  The exact date of occupancy is still being negotiated but we believe we will be able to start modifications to the space during the summer.  We are planning on a Grand Opening on September 29, the opening of our Festival of American Indian Arts.

The new facility will allow us to establish the following features:

  • Archaeology Research Lab
  • Artifact Curation Facility
  • Learning Center
  • Expanded exhibit area
  • Archaeology for Kids area

To see our initial blueprint of the facility plans, click HERE.

Center Begins Capital Campaign

The Center was fortunate to receive the donated services of a commercial interior designer to work on our plans.  We have also been in contact with the conservator of the Arizona State Museum in Tucson on what is needed to become a certified repository for cultural artifacts.  Based on their advise, we have developed a budget for all modifications, enhancements and new exhibits.  Our Capital Campaign goal is $250,000 which will allow us to provide the Verde Valley and Sedona areas with a first-class facility to enhance cultural heritage awareness and tourism.
