Description

Located northwest of Phoenix in the town of Wickenburg, the Desert Caballeros Western Museum is a showcase of western culture and history. For art lovers, there is an art section of the museum that features beautiful western-themed art, including bronze sculptures, paintings, gorgeous Native American woven baskets and crafts, and more. Walk over to the diorama area, where you'll get to experience the history of Wickenburg as depicted in a series of intricate miniature dioramas. There are also re-created scenes of early Arizona, from a furnished Victorian home to a saloon to a livery stable; they're all grouped together to provide an ambiance of early 20th century life on the Arizona streets. This museum is a great place to visit to get introduced to the state's fascinating caballero-themed history.
