    Cowgirl Up exhibition
    Laura M.

    Fantastic art gallery and museum. It seems to keep going and going. Happened to be there for the Cowgirl artist exhibit and wish I had $$$ to purchase at least one. Totally worth an hour or two if your time and the reasonable admission fee.

    I love this Western Museum in downtown Wickenburg. The staff is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the artifacts and history of that area. A must see if your in the area.

    The menu. Oysters in the desert circa 1980 sound fresh

    When in Wickenburg you need to check this place out! It may seem small but took half of my day to look at everything. They were displaying Cowgirl Up which was all female artists showcasing southwestern art that you could purchase and vote on your favorite work. This is an amazing gem I've passed by too many times - please stop and take a look. The art and history of the southwest here are amazing!

    Absolutely fabulous! The main floor has beautiful paintings and sculptures focusing on cowboys, native Americans, and the beautiful scenery of Arizona. The basement section contains life-size recreations of early 1900s Wickenburg: a reconstructed store, saloon, and hotel; furnished rooms; oral histories, and dioramas. But wait, there's more! There is a second building. Currently on display (11/2017 - 4/2018) are treasures from the Getzwiller Collection. Beautiful Native American rugs, blankets, pottery, baskets and paintings, and so much more.

    Our family loved the museum. We have a set of twins and with our limo of a stroller it was easy to make our way around the main museum. We will for sure be back for family day so our toddler can explore as well. FYI there are two separate buildings both are accessible if you have a stroller but the culture crossroads learning center was a bit to fragile for us. Very beautiful displays, stories and pottery on display but everything encased with glass. I get the precaution but we will have to enjoy another time without or babies.

    Display on Arizona's official neckwear

    I found this museum to be pretty surprising in what they had. I would never have expected to see a gun owned by Wyatt Earp, Seth Bullock's shave set, or a knife presented to Buffalo Bill Cody by the Russian czar while on a hunt here, let alone all three and more. I had first heard about this delightful institution looking up roadside attractions and came across descriptions of a "Bolo Tie Museum." While they do have a display on the state's official neckwear, it's far from the only thing worth seeking out. Aside from Wyatt's gun and Seth's shave cup and brush, the museum details the history of Wickenburg, with Native American items, rocks and minerals from the region, and a recreated western town downstairs. The town, peopled with mannequins in western attire, is stocked with products of the era and it's pretty neat to walk around in it. Some areas encourage you to touch -- turn the meat grinder, take bread out of the oven, churn the butter churn -- but most of the exhibits are behind barriers. Photography is allowed in most of the museum (non-flash only), but it's prohibited in the ground-level visiting galleries -- one was full of modern paintings and the other loaded with cowboy things (MANY sets of spurs, guns, chaps, saddles, bridles, etc. Since it's privately owned, you can't take pictures of it). Admission was knocked to $6 (from $7.50) with Triple-A. It's worth visiting if you're passing through. A block away from the museum, there's also the Jail Tree, which Wickenburg's authorities used to chain outlaws to since they didn't have a jail to put them in. There's a statue of such an outlaw there with a voicebox you could press to get a narration on the attraction.

    If you are visiting Arizona or hosting a visitor to Arizona, the Desert Caballeros Western Museum should be on your short list of possible things to do. It is a small museum, but it's not a small town museum. It's professionally curated, with a unique and extensive mix of Western art and Western history on display: Western art, including paintings and bronzes. Western tradition, including saddles and firearms. Western culture, including a general store. Arizona history generally, including minerals and mining. Wickenburg history specifically. If you have kids, be sure to bring them downstairs. Photography is allowed on this level and there may be hands on activities underway depending on the day. Regardless, the general store there ("how we shopped before WalMart") is a hard to comprehend sight for many little ones. Oh yes, don't forget that the museum is housed in two separate buildings. The museum volunteers are friendly and phenomenally helpful. Admission is relatively inexpensive. There is a headphone tour available if you are so inclined, or you can just wander as we did on this day when we had young kids in tow. The visit can then be completed by dropping in on the assortment of locally owned shops and cafes located nearby, all within easy walking distance.

    Hadbog scale 9.5/10, beautifully decorated with nice tile work, western handmade lining at the ceiling.  Very nice.

    Well worth the visit. I have never stopped in Wickenburg before so this time we decided to stop and take in the museum. Fantastic set of volunteers, with all due respect to them the older set if ladies that I spoke to really knew their stuff, it was great to talk to people who may have remembered some of the early 1900s period items, from the grandparents or parents homes. The museum has a nice selection of artwork from bronze Remingtons, to oils and water colors. And includes a headset for listening in to many descriptive talks on each sound port. They did a really nice job of recreating what life would have been like in the late 1800s to early 1900s for mining, living, shopping, worship and play. Well worth an hour or two to stop and take in the museum.

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.

What a great little Historic Western Town. The jail tree was just one of the things to see in the Old Town part of Wickenburg. We were so impressed with the great old restaurants also. I'll post later where we had the Very Best Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast We both have ever had. For those that have never ventured up the 60 to Wickenburg you should treat yourself and enjoy a visit.

There are murals and quite a few cafes & restaurants, shops, and museums to venture to. When I found this spot, there was a small parking lot right in front of the tree area. It is blocked off for traffic. It looks like a coffee vender has a food cart parked there. It was closed by the time we were there. There is parking close by. The tree looks like it's been there for a loooong time. It is interesting to see this man sitting on the ground, chained to the tree. There is a recording of the story and with a push of the button (it is working again) you can hear a tale. This stop has a Knotts Berry Farm feel to it. It's always fun to look for something new or unique. This stop is fun. It doesn't take long to check it out, & take a pic. When you take your next road trip and you find yourself in the area, Check it out!
