Our Stories- Skirting the Law: Crime History of Chandler In-Person
Join Chandler Museum's Jody Crago and explore the darker side of our past! In a sense, Chandler was built on a crime. Explore how Dr. A.J. Chandler's land fraud schemes helped people settle in the area but led to a federal Congressional hearing questioning the Chandler Improvement Company’s methods to purchase and grant land. Uncover other crimes of note that have happened in Chandler over the years—such as the 1935 crime spree in downtown Chandler that led businesses to band together and hire a night watchman, as well as a robbery that led to a kidnapping! These stories will be intertwined with the history of Chandler's police force.
