Mesa's Buckhorn Baths Could Be Getting Makeover

A historic property that was partially responsible for the creation of the  Cactus League moves closer to getting a renovation.

The mineral baths at Buckhorn Baths in Mesa lured the New York Giants west, eventually followed by other baseball teams. Ted and Alice Sliger opened the hotel and baths in 1939, but both have since closed. So what’s next for the property?

Jay Mark, a writer and historian, joined The Show to talk more about the history and future of the historic location.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
