Just north of Phoenix, Cave Creek’s independently operated museum and historic ‘Frontier Town’ offer a quirky, immersive look at Arizona’s mining and ranching era. Recommended by local publication Phoenix Home & Garden, the museum preserves rare pioneer artifacts and rotating exhibits curated by longtime residents. The adjacent Frontier Town, a collection of indie shops and family-run eateries built to resemble an Old West street, hosts lively events and folk art fairs year-round. The town’s strong commitment to preserving local stories and traditions makes it a rewarding trip for all ages.
