Located just west of the University of Arizona campus, the Arizona Historical Society features permanent and long-term exhibits from Spanish Colonial times to the 20th century—including a replica of a mine shaft invoking Arizona's long history of gold, silver and copper mining. There are several hands on exhibits and an excellent collection of old photographs documenting the lives of Indians, settlers and miners in Southern Arizona. The gift store is open the same hours as the museum. This place is a must-visit to learn about rich cultural heritage of Arizona.
