We just spent a week in beautiful Sedona. We arrived om a Wednesday evening. My husband and I were…read morediscussing what we'd like to do. I told him I wanted to see Fiddler on the Rock. I had seen the story about him (Tyler) on CBS Sunday Morning. I got VIP tickets for the Thursday evening show. I was having a problem with my tooth and decided I needed to see a dentist on Thursday. Got a 2pm appt and found out my wisdom tooth was infected and needed to be pulled. I told the dentist we had tickets for a show at 5pm. He said he'd get me out in 15 minutes. So, off we went to see Tyler with my swollen face and cotton stuffed in my mouth. Getting the chance to chat with Tyler and hear his story was absolutely inspiring. He performed in an old barn on a historic ranch. When he performs and opens the barn doors behind him the view of the incredible red rocks just take your breath away and listening to Tyler play just takes you to another place. We loved the show so much that we got tickets for his Saturday evening Celtic show which is at an intimate dance studio. Tyler was so sweet and asked how my tooth was doing. These shows were the highlight of our vacation. Tyler, you are so incredibly gifted and your music truly touched us. Getting the opportunity to chat with you meant so much to us, also. When visiting Sedona, get tickets to see Fiddler on the Rock. You'll be glad you did!!

Great experience!

When we arrived, he greeted us by name, and remembered our name at the end of the show as well! The show was a delight! He played different genres from Irish, to square dancing with an adorable childhood story to the Lion King, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin! People were up and dancing and singing along - it went by too fast, we wanted more! If you get the chance to come this show, do it!

The tour guide Joseph was so kind and full of energy. The video you watch when you get there is a very heart felt explanation of the passion to continue this community. They own 800 acres and the property is built on 20 acres, it was built between 1971-1975 for the main spaces that are shared. 45 people live there but could range to 80. They show how the products and structure are made. I had no clue about silk casts and loved the hands on understanding and history. They have concerts, events, gatherings. Etc at the amphitheater. Check out the website. The cafe is closed. You can stay as a hotel guest overnight. They offer apprenticeship also.

Clearly what the original architect had in mind many years ago never came to fruition as it really hasn't changed in years.

There is a gift shop where you can watch a brief video on the history and learn about their wind chime creations. Personally I've received many of the wind chimes over the last 20 years for housewarmings or Christmas gifts. Each is unique. The greeter in the gift shop was friendly and stated there is a tour available as well. We didn't have time for the tour but purchased a couple of small gifts. He suggested visiting the Scottsdale location as well which is called Cosanti. I had no idea it was located in Scott's well. Will check it out.

The center has been here for 15 years and exists primarily to display artifacts recovered from a single site in the area. This is extremely rare as most sites have been pillaged by pot hunters over the last 100+ years, and this site was privately owned and protected for many decades. I was honored to received what was basically a private tour of the facility by the executive director Monica Buckle. She took her time and provided much detail to give an excellent overview of this facility. Thank you so much Monica! The entire Verde Valley area is a much overlooked archaeology gem in the history of our country & this facility champions the learning and understanding of this unique place. If you're ever in the area, I strongly recommend a visit. Please note the visiting hours change for the summer season so be sure to research this first.

It was especially interesting to learn about the family who once lived in the cabin and how the property was passed down through generations, giving a real sense of Sedona's history. Admission is $10, though cultural passes are available through local libraries. It seems the admission fee helps keep the museum running, as there are several signs encouraging visitors to pay at the door. We spent about an hour exploring both the indoor and outdoor exhibits. There were many unique and fun things to see, including the iconic turquoise McDonald's signs, a Morse code learning area, and an old-fashioned apple peeler/corer. Outside, the views of the Sedona red rocks were beautiful, and there's a nice park nearby that's perfect for a short walk. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the gift shop had lots of cute items. A nice bonus was that there's no sales tax in the store. If you have the time and want to learn more about Sedona's history, this is a nice spot.

We spent about 1 hour, maybe a bit more here, exploring several buildings, each filled with Sedona area history. The main building houses a huge amount of local history in the form of plaques, dioramas, physical items, pictures, art and more. The barn houses an old horse draw buggy, a restored vintage Sedona fire truck, an entire apply processing plant and much more. The small, tan colored building seen closest to the entry point is a nearly 100 year old, fully restored movie set piece that was used as the telegraph office. The wireless set is in there along with a vast amount of movie posters, artifacts and details about the impact the filming of nearly 100 westerns had on Sedona. There's also some spectacular views of close rock formations from the property. There are a couple of well done bronze art pieces outside. One is of a Cowboy Storyteller telling stories to two children. Another bronze is of a couple, standing on a broken wagon wheel, holding a lantern and looking straight ahead. This one is by artist John Muir and tells a story. This museum was a real nice visit.

We saw a vacant space, so we grabbed it. It was right in front of a cool little art shop called Sedona's Tree House. Poking your head through the door is enjoyable in and of itself. It's as if you've met up with the Ents of Fangorn Forest (The Hobbit) and have been carried into a magical treehouse dream, with a giant tree climbing up through the middle of the shop. The shelves are cleverly designed from beautifully rough cut and masterfully finished planks held up in some cases with what seem to be branches growing out from under them. Hand crafted Kokopelli wind chimes, nature inspired table and wall art, and various artsy knickknacks of all sorts are beautifully displayed throughout this cozy little treehouse-themed shop. We ended up buying a beautiful sun-themed wind chime for only $25 that we're looking forward to putting up in our courtyard when we get home!
