    First off, I highly suggest you go to your local library as they may be able to get you a free pass to this museum which is what I did. Otherwise, it's $10. I was hoping to learn more about Sedona... But this small spot is really about the Jordan Farmouse. It's about a random family who lived here. The museum is kind of a hodgepodge of other things such as hiking trails (oddly enough, they didn't have descriptions of the two hiking trails that I used), the Sedona family, cowboys, and Hollywood movies. It's a very small and quiescent spot. There's hardly anyone here so you could really take your time with the exhibits. I think what this museum lacks that other museums succeed at is interactivity. Their idea of interactivity is just pointing your phone at a QR code and doing tons of reading. I thought it was cool that they had a wall about Sedona but it only talked about her life and not about why the city was named Sedona to begin with. I liked how clean and serene the whole place was, but it certainly lacks the charm of other museums I've visited.

    This is a small museum. One of the cool things about it is the many QR codes for youtube audio descriptions of historic events. The main building houses a plethora of old housewares. The other buildings house different farm and mechanical equipment.. It's kind of an anthropological history museum of a very specific time period. It's nice, but in no way amazing.

    Very nice museum and lots of history here. If you want to learn about the area while you're visiting definitely come see them and see the old photos of Sedona and see the orchards that covered the area. The staff is very knowledgeable and if they aren't too busy have the best stories to tell about the family that lived here.

    Had a great time with the kids, they have a game kids can play to learn about everything and my boys really liked that. It's very informative and beautiful. Definitely recommend everybody to get your souvenirs here because there's no tax my son and cat Sedona Monopoly, and we played at the entire time we were on vacation

    The name caught my eye.

    Yes it's worth the $10 entry fee. And all the tours stop here. There are multiple period buildings to visit on the grounds, and they are nicely decorated or staged. The host was very nice. Great history story for the local area. And bonus McDonalds history anomaly.

    A fun way to learn about the history of Sedona. Until the land became more valuable as being parceled and sold off, the land was a working orchard. For generations, the orchard stood. Today, the land is now predominately homes and businesses. The Sedona Heritage Museum is preserving the rich history of the area. Learn about Sedona's history in everything from agricultural to movie making. Busy with kids, so I didn't manage to get pictures inside. At $7 per person, visiting is also a fairly economical thing to do in the area. Free parking is available at the museum. There is a trailhead not far from the museum. If planning on hiking as well, make sure to move your car to the parking lot closer to the trailhead.

    Really nice historical museum- self guided tour- can get audio add on as well. Interesting and informative. Gorgeous views. Gift shop. Free parking.

    Nice place to spend an hour in a beautiful setting. We attended the museum's holiday event. I made a corn husk doll with help from one of the volunteers. They provided apple cider and cookies. I purchased a gift shop ornament as a donation. The event was well attended. We will be back when the crowds are not overwhelming the museum.

    The Turquoise arches of the Sedona McDonalds.

    I love supporting small local museums that are so part of a community! This one was no exception! I had been there back in the mid 90s and this time was much more memorable! Our docent-an Irish chap could tell tales of family of Sedona's founding families. The best part is the architecture of the house itself and all of the personal artifacts. The cowboy room is fun too! I don't remember the. Telegraph office from my previous trip, nor the Turquoise arches!

    This museum was filled with the history of Sedonas early pioneers. The family that epitomizes Sedona. This was such a nice place. Cowboys, the women and even a telegraph station. I try to visit all "old town" museums. Whether your black, white or another nationality you could appreciate this museum or any other museum...especially if you were like me in school and hated the history that they taught us ( that we now know wasn't even interesting or beneficial) lol

    We stopped in here for some history of the town we love to visit so much, Sedona! The volunteers here were super nice, friendly, helpful and informative. There's a lot of information and artifacts to enjoy here. There are quite a few rooms you can walk through, and some set up for staff only. They have a gift shop as well with very reasonable prices. We received audio tour upgrades with our Yelp check-in. Unfortunately, one audio device didn't work and the other one kept skipping while in play :-/ Kind of a disappointing freebie. The volunteers let us know they are planning to upgrade the devices, not sure when. There are buildings outside you can tour as well. The packing barn has relics and videos you can watch on apple packing, homesteading, the forest service, geological area information, etc. You can start the videos yourself on a touchscreen TV in the barn. The apple sorting machine is in there too...kinda cool to see. One of the videos shows how it worked. The barn is also where the fire truck is. Overall, this was an interesting stop. I would highly recommend.

    Various outbuildings with beautiful view.

    Fantastic museum! Has great original buildings and artifacts from Sedona and the surrounding area. Loved hearing various settler stories from Arizona's early history that the museum tells. We learned a lot from the exhibits about ranching, orchards, and schools. Would highly recommend a stop here while you're in Sedona!

    As my husband and I are visiting Sedona we decided to go to the museum of Sedona to learn some of the history of this town. The location was very easy to find. The history was intriguing of the town. Seeing the property and the tools that were used was I fascinating. The volunteers were very kind and welcoming. The volunteer staff was very knowledgeable of the history of the family and about the town. The experience was pleasant we thoroughly enjoyed this experience. We went to the satellite locations on the property to learn more about the business of the family and the tools that they used to run their orchard business. If you are visiting Sedona we highly recommend a visit to this museum!

    This was my first visit to the Verde Valley archaeology center, and I was truly amazed! I was…read morehoping to see artifacts from the immediate vicinity at this location and was not disappointed! 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.

We chose the guided free tour which lasted about an hour and was quite thorough. I really enjoyed the quality of items on display and learning about the artifacts. If one is lucky the libraries in Scottsdale have a free pass for 2 people to enter. We paid but it was worth the $5 entry fee each.
