Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West

If you've spent any time in Old Town, you know that Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West is one of those places that truly captures the heart of who we are.  It tells the story of the American West in a way that feels both rooted in history and incredibly relevant today. And recently, the museum stepped into a whole new era with a 12 million dollar expansion that is elevating the entire experience.  The new Louis Sands the IV Center adds significant space, new exhibitions, and a deeper, more immersive way to connect with Western and Indigenous art and storytelling. This expansion was not just a milestone for the museum, but really for Scottsdale as a whole. It reflects the growth of our city while still honoring the history and culture that define it. So today, I'm joined by Todd Bankofier, CEO and Executive Director of Western Spirit, to talk about this exciting new chapter and what it means for the community.
