Over the course of seven decades, the Buckhorn Mineral Baths and Wildlife Museum became one of Mesa’s and the State’s most recognizable and memorable Main Street icons – attracting celebrities and others to its healing waters, wildlife museum, and quirky amenities. Importantly, the Buckhorn was a chief influence on enticing major league baseball to begin annual spring training in Mesa and the Valley. Along with never before seen photographs, the fascinating account of Ted & Alice Sliger and their rags-
to-riches story should not be missed.
