DESCRIPTION	Grace Sparkes worked to develop and bring progress to northern Arizona. Many sights in northern Arizona, such as the land around the Montezuma Castle National Monument and Coronado Entrada National Monument are a result of her campaigning. She also renovated other ruins, restored the Old Governor’s Mansion, and established a Veteran’s Affairs Hospital. She also established the Smoki People of Prescott, a group dedicated to learning and preserving Indian lore. In addition to cultural preservation, she brought interstate highways to Arizona and helped bring a bridge that would cross to California.
