In Short
Despite the development and a thriving main-street tourist trade, the communities of Cave Creek and Carefree in the North Valley retain a small-town ambiance. No one embodies local enterprise and pride more than Grace Frederick, who belies her 90-plus years with a fascinating and eclectic museum.Quite apart from the property's serene 84-acre high-desert setting, sights include historic costumes, stuffed animals, magic lanterns, music boxes, vintage modes of transportation, and mementos of Grace's acting career on Broadway in the '20s.
