Arizona Historical Society Museum in Papago Park
This museum, at the headquarters of the Arizona Historical Society, focuses its well-designed exhibits on the history of central Arizona. Temporary exhibits on the lives and works of the people who helped shape this region are always highlights of a visit. An interesting permanent exhibit features life-size statues of everyday people from Arizona's past (a Mexican miner, a Chinese laborer, and so on). Quotes relate their individual stories, while props reveal what items they might have traveled with during their days in the desert.

The Bead Museum
You'll see beads and body adornments from around the world at this interesting little museum in the Glendale antiques district. Beads both ancient and modern are on display, and exhibits often focus on such subjects as beaded bags, prayer beads, or natural beads.

Historic Heritage Square
Although the city of Phoenix was founded as recently as 1870, much of its history has been obliterated. However, if you have an appreciation for old homes and want a glimpse of how Phoenix once looked, stroll around this collection of some of the city's few remaining 19th-century houses, which stand here on the original town site. All of the buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and most display Victorian architectural styles popular at the end of the 19th century. Today, the buildings house museums, restaurants, and gift shops. The Eastlake Victorian Rosson House, furnished with period antiques, is open for tours. The Stevens House features the Arizona Doll and Toy Museum. The Forest's Carriage House has a gift shop and ticket window for the Rosson House tours. The Teeter House now serves as a Victorian tearoom (with cocktails and live jazz in the evening); the old Baird Machine Shop contains Pizzeria Bianco; and the Thomas House is home to Bar Bianco.
