The
Arizona Historical Society is Arizona's
oldest cultural organization founded by the territorial legislature
on November 7, 1864 ... charged with preserving Arizona's history
for the present and future.
Organized
in 1979, the Historical League, Inc.,
a 501(c)(3), is a fund-raising arm of the Arizona Historical Society
Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate, at Papago Park, Tempe, Arizona.
The
Historical
League Logo Old Ned is a design based on a toy horse
that originally belonged to a small boy who became very ill. Just
before he died, he gave the little horse to his mother and said,
"Take care of Old Ned." In 1880, the family came to Phoenix
and treasured Ned
until he was given to the Museum.
