Description:
Located just west of the University of Arizona campus, the Arizona History Museum (located inside the Arizona Historical Society's Spanish Colonial building) may not seem like much from the outside, but inside is a treasure trove of Arizona history. Here you'll find Geronimo's rifle, Wyatt Earp's personal possessions, (as well as various treasures from Tombstone), Spanish colonial silverwork, historic U.S. military uniforms, as well as the Fairbanks to Tombstone stagecoach. Pick up an Arizona souvenir at the Mercantile Store. The Arizona History Museum is a must-see for Old West history buffs.
