Our very own Twink Monrad is sharing her passion with the Oracle Historical Society as she recounts her adventures with Jim Kriegh, the “Father of Oro Valley,” in the search for meteorites in the Gold Basin of Mohave County. This region, long known for its gold veins, revealed an astonishing treasure: previously undiscovered meteorites. This discovery sparked scientific interest from the University of Arizona, leading to classification and mapping efforts that continue to inform planetary science today. Acadia Ranch Museum, 825 E.
