2025 Arizona Historymakers™
Turquoise & Treasures Celebration

The 2025 Arizona Historymakers™ Turquoise & Treasures Celebration was held on October 25, 2025 at The Scott Resort & Spa in Scottsdale. At the celebration, a video presentation highlighted their contributions, followed by a buffet and reception with an opportunity to meet and talk to the Historymakers. Guests were among the first to see a new exhibit on the 2025 Historymakers. Arizona National History Day students who participated in the national competition in Maryland were on hand to show their projects and talk to guests.

The funds raised at the Historymakers celebration ensure continuation of the program and provide help to underwrite educational programs including the students and teachers participating in the National History Day competition, as well as new exhibits and improvements at the Arizona Heritage Center.
