Arizona State Parks

Join a ranger for a twenty minute tour of the mansion grounds. Learn more about Flagstaff's ecology, native wildlife, and conservation. This tour will vary weekly depending on what is blooming and what wildlife shows off.

Riordan Mansion and art have gone hand in hand since the mansion was created in 1904; through artwork that decorates the interior and the structure of the house itself. This specialty tour examines the Riordans’ art collection and the Arts and Crafts Movement which inspired the design for the Riordans’ home. 

Hear the stories of local women from the 1880s to today who have overcome personal hardship, adverse environments, painful legacies, and economic woes.

Step into 1904 and have tea on the veranda just as the Riordans did at the beginning of the last century. You’re more than welcome to dress in your finest Victorian or Edwardian attire while attending this special social event.

Join Kathy Pendley Shaw, the granddaughter of the original homesteaders of the historic Pendley Homestead, now known today for Slide Rock State Park but a century ago, known for its apple orchard.
