BURROS. .
Great museum with lots of information on the local history on mining and Indians of the area. Had a great time there. I especially liked the information on the legend on the lost duchman mine.
Pretty fun place to kill some time while on the road. The Elvis themed church was awesome as one could really get a nice gag out of it.
It's really fast to explore the entire place but you can get some pretty great photographic shots.
Do stay hydrated if you would like to hike the mountain for a bit as they do not have water fountains and will charge you more than usual for some bottled water.
Lots of fun! My two year old loved it! Outside is free but the inside does have a museum that cost. It was worth it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. A staff member got the small train going just for my son! It was the best part for him. He even found train sounds on his phone so my son could hear them! It was a wonderful experience. Can't wait to go back!
Wow!!! My friend has lived here for over 10 years and never heard of this amazing little treasure. It is free to visit but filled with incredible history. Many priceless authentic old West artifacts along side detailed descriptions for context. I especially enjoyed speaking with the staff, extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions.
A great place to take out of guest. We all enjoyed the museum as well as the grounds. Add to your list of places to go.
This was a quaint museum, but filled with history and interesting facts about the area. The surrounding exhibits were fun for the kids. They especially liked the magic show. The gentleman who did the magic tricks was great with kids and definitely has been at it for a while. This lil stop is worth the time.
Pretty cool little museum. Lots of interesting artifacts and displays. There's also a lot to see outside the museum such as the Apacheland barn, the Elvis wedding chapel, and the stamp mill. Pretty cool if you're into old Western movies or just history in general.
**You can get two free general admission tickets from any of the Phoenix Public libraries. Just ask to see the "Culture Passes" or look online for availability.
I enjoyed learning more about Arizona from this Museum. The people are friendly and nice. There's quite a bit of history in such a small place which was a pleasant surprise for me. This is a must see for AZ history lovers.
What fun this place is! It's also mostly run by volunteers. The gift shop was well stocked and the stamp mill is one of a kind. Be sure to go by and watch a demo of the mill for the full effect. An outdoor train exhibit was also there, but I understand that may be seasonal due to the extreme heat. Many movies were filmed on-site or in buildings that are restored at this location. Definitely worth a stop.
Very neat. Scenic views and cool history lessons. Model trains in back and an antique ore stamp mill in partial running condition.
Cool for a couple hour walk around. The free parts are awesome. The little paid museum is OK but kinda pricey for what it is. A lot of history and famous actor filmed here in the 50s 60s. Worth a check out if your in the area and much better then the the goldfield ghost town across the street where everything cost money to do.
The outdoor museum is very informative on mining, an actual massive working ore crusher. A fair size complete miniature train layout, that you can walk around. A lot of other small buildings to check out. It's all free but they do accept donations. There is a fee to go to the small inside museum. Definitely recommend checking it out.
