The Patagonia Museum met for a brief business meeting followed by a talk by Dr. John Langellier.

Dr. Langellier spoke on the Buffalo Soldiers and his most current book: “Fighting for Uncle Sam“. Buffalo Soldiers were first posted at Fort Huachuca during the 1890’s and patrolled eastern Santa Cruz County as needed. At the conclusion of the meeting, the movie, “Sergeant Rutledge” was shown.

On Monday, May 9, 2011, Kate Musick’s first and second grade class from Patagonia Elementary School participated in a field trip and work day at the Lochiel Schoolhouse. The students raked and gathered cottonwood tree debris from the recently trimmed tree in front of the schoolhouse.  Fourteen trash containers were filled and transported by The Patagonia Museum volunteers to an erosion control site near the De La Ossa family chapel nearby.

Mrs. Musick’s class has produced an art image of the schoolhouse that will be utilized in a sign to be installed in front of the schoolhouse.

This activity is the result of a collaboration between The Patagonia Museum, the Patagonia Creative Art Center and the Patagonia Elementary School. Funding was provided by the Patagonia Regional Community Foundation.

The Patagonia Community Garden and The Patagonia Museum partnered to host Consulting Arborist Juan Barba on May 4 at the community garden in Patagonia.
