We enjoyed it and learned a lot about Sedona!
If you’re wanting to learn more about the history and evolution of Sedona and also how it got its name - check this place out.
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.
