Help these guys get back on the golf course!

CAVE CREEK – Evelyn Johnson, Cave Creek Museum’s executive director, often refers to the group of 10 retired men who are volunteering to restore the Museum’s historic Stamp Mill as her “dream team.” Since April 2009, the volunteers have logged in more than 7,000 labor-intensive hours cleaning, fixing, and lugging more than 80,000 pounds of iron pieces on museum property as they worked to restore and rebuild the mill, believed to date back to 1880. Stamp mills once were used to crush hard-rock ore in the gold-mining process. Once more funds are raised, the rare structure could be operational as early as next fall.
