On December 27, 1979, the Superstition Mountain
Historical Society was formed. The first temporary board
was established in January of 1980. The Superstition Mountain
Historical Society received both its Certificate of Incorporation
from the state of Arizona and its 501(c)(3) Nonprofit status
in March of 1980. At its annual meeting in June of 1980,
a permanent board was established.
In 1981, the first quarterly journal was published,
and in 1984, the Historical Society began printing annual
journals.
The Historical Society has gradually amassed
a large collection of memorabilia, artifacts and minerals.
The
Society acquired a large collection of mining ore cars
and Phelps Dodge donated sixty tons of historic mining
equipment, including several train engines.
