"INDIAN ARTIFACTS COLLECTION AND BASEBALL " "Buckhorn Baths "

n 1936, Ted Sliger's store and lunch counter in Mesa, "Desert Wells", burned down, destroying his collection of taxidermy, except for one buckhorn deer, which was on loan. He and his wife, Alice, bought a 10-acre (4.0 ha) property in the open desert seven miles (11.27 km)outside of Mesa - they would eventually add parcels of land to the west and north[note 1] - bought a house from a neighbor and had it moved to the property. The constructed a store from bricks scavenged from a demolished Mesa school, from which they sold gasoline and a variety of products, including groceries, hunting and fishing licenses, fishing tackle, and Native American jewelry and rugs. In 1938 they expanded the store in order to display Ted's taxidermy work - a service he provided to hunters and fisherman; this would evolve into a "Wildlife Museum" with over 400 specimens.[1][2] Because they had to haul in all of their drinking water, in 1939 the Sligers sunk a well, but the water they struck was 112°F (44.4 °C) mineral water. To exploit their new find, they build a bathhouse with the capacity of 75 people, and cottages to accommodate those who wished to stay overnight.[note 2] They named their business "Buckhorn", after the one piece of Ted's taxidermy which had been saved from the fireDownload oin this chann/Users/jeffreyschreckler/Desktop/License_823483 - 2022-2025-2.pdfel to get access to perks:

They should save the history of the town 😢

The number of artifacts there just in the walls alone is staggering. I live only a few short miles from there and wasn't aware of any plans on taking it down. Last I knew, the Buckhorn Baths was on the registry of historic places. It would be a travesty to lose such a large piece of Mesa's history.

It's cool to see all those artifacts but what a shame they're sitting in concrete like that. They should be in a museum. I'm sure they can be removed and put in an actual Museum. Kind of disrespectful to the indigenous people of the Areas.
