Who We Are

The Pardners is a 501(c)(3) organization of volunteers who help interpret Chandler’s agricultural heritage through programs and events, while also enhancing the Ranch’s amenities through the donation of money, resources and time. ​ 

Our  Vision

​The Pardners are committed to supporting the operation, maintenance and development of Chandler Museum’s Tumbleweed Ranch, located in Tumbleweed Park. The Pardners have a vision for the Ranch to be a unique outdoor museum setting and environmental learning space providing a look into agricultural life at the turn-of-the-century. Our vision includes exhibits on antique farm equipment, restoration of historical homes and to provide a hands-on-learning experience for youth and families through the Chandler Museum’s educational programming.
