PHOENIX — The Cave Creek Museum is set to kick off the 2021-2022 season this October with new collections, exhibits and special events, officials announced.

The new season, starting October 1 and lasting through May 31, will debut artifacts showcasing the prehistoric history of the Cave Creek area, as well as the area’s desert defender and poetry to Cave Creek as the first poet laureate.

A fine art collection that shows the legacy of Cave Creek’s Southwest Fine Arts Heritage will also make an appearance for the first time in years, officials said in a press release.
