Description

Officially operated by the Arizona National Guard Historical Society, its purpose is to preserve items and history of Arizona's military. The facility is housed in a historical adobe building, which was built in 1936 and used for German prisoners during WWII. Displayed are vehicles, uniforms, mementos and artillery items spanning time periods from the Spanish conquistadors to the more current Desert Storm. Included are the Korean conflict, Vietnam and the Spanish-American Wars. Interesting exhibits include a diorama depicting an underground escape by German prisoners of war, and an Army helicopter used during the Vietnam War. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged.
