Prescott Women: Kate T. Cory Photographer and Artist

Brenda Cusick, Board Member of the Prescott Western Heritage Center, brings Kate T. Cory’s story alive in the first person, in full costume.

Kate was born in Waukegan, Illinois, in 1861 and died in Prescott, Arizona, in 1958. She stayed with the Hopi for seven years and photographed, painted, and wrote about Hopi daily life. She formed a friendship with Arizona historian Sharlot Hall and helped set up a museum to save Hopi and Yavapai artifacts. In 2019, she was inducted into the Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame.
