Deception, Lies & Alibis - at the Sedona Heritage Museum
Starting date:
Event Details
The Sedona Heritage Museum presents Michael Peach in a performance of his new original show “Deceptions, Lies & Alibis” on Saturday, May 3 at 1:30 p.m.
Peach’s show features his unique blend of original cowboy poetry with a tongue-in-cheek look at Arizona and local history.
“Strange tales have been told by those who rode Arizona’s rugged trails. And sometimes a fact ain’t exactly exact when you scrutinize details.” Or, so says award-winning actor, playwright and historian Michael Peach in his new show, highlighting his original cowboy-style poetry.
Mike spins tales using jokes, stories, first person narrative, and original poems to explore the colorful history of our state. “If whiskey was their quest, men knew that the best came from Bill’s still outside of Sedona.”
But, women of the West aren’t ignored in his new show. “Fashion demands the ultimate price, ranchers wrangle a dragon, a con man rides a tornado, a super-powered horse gets distracted, and a frustrated businesswoman gets a leg up on the law.”
Informative and entertaining, Mike’s shows have long been a favorite of university, state and national parks, and historically-oriented audiences.
The show is about an hour long. Tickets are $6, with children under 12 free. Museum admission is separate.

Jerome State Historic Park Famous Homes
The Douglas Mansion, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has been an eye-catching landmark in Jerome since 1916, when James S. Douglas built it on the hill just above his Little Daisy Mine.Douglas designed the house as a hotel for mining officials and investors as well as for his own family. It featured a wine cellar, billiard room, marble shower, steam heat, and, much ahead of its time, a central vacuum system. Douglas was most proud of the fact that the house was constructed of adobe bricks that were made on the site.
He also built the Little Daisy Hotel near the mine as a dormitory for the miners. The concrete structure still stands.
This former home is now a museum operated by the Arizona State Parks and is devoted to history of the Jerome area and the Douglas family. The museum features exhibits of photographs, artifacts, and minerals in addition to a video presentation and a 3-D model of the town with its underground mines. One room, the Douglas library, is restored as a period room. There are more displays outside along with a picnic area offering a beautiful panoramic view of the Verde Valley.
