Gillies Garden

This garden honors the Museum volunteers, the Gillies, and offers a pleasant resting spot by the Museum's main entrance. The Messenger Bird, carved on the circular bluestone by famed Chiricahua Apache sculptor Allan Houser, symbolizes carrying hopes and prayers to God. The curved bench, with its east-facing entrance, represents the altar of the Native American Church; it has a backdrop of azalea and dogwood. Donors: Lucia & Travis Freeman
