The Pioneers' Cemetery Association, based in Phoenix, AZ, is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the historic cemeteries and grave markers of Pioneer Military Memorial Park. Their mission is to promote and celebrate Arizona's Pioneer History through research, education, conservation, and community engagement. With a focus on territorial Arizona history, the association offers self-guided tours of the cemeteries and the historic Smurthwaite House, as well as a variety of educational programs and events.
Through membership, volunteering, and donations, the Pioneers' Cemetery Association works to ensure the stories and heritage of Phoenix and territorial Arizona are preserved for future generations. They are currently running a donation drive to improve the Jacob Waltz gravesite, known as the Lost Dutchman, which attracts visitors from around the world. The association aims to add a large granite monument, educational features, and ongoing maintenance to the site, with any additional funds raised going towards the care of the monument and cemetery.
