What To Expect

Verde Valley Archaeology Center

The museum has nine galleries that cover family life of the 11th to 14th Centuries, mineral/ore collecting of ancient peoples, the history of the Yavapai-Apache Nation, prehistoric ceramic production, and the migrations of the Hisatsinom (ancestral Hopi). There are currently two special exhibits. Space Rocks! is an exhibit of meteorites on loan from Arizona State University's Center for Meteor Studies. These meteorites were all part of the Canyon Diablo meteorite that created Meteor Crater, however, they were found in or near Sinagua ruins in the Verde Valley area. A second limited exhibit is a retrospective of the art of Paul Dyck. The exhibit features works on loan from the Scottsdale Museum of the West, the Tucson Museum of Art, and private collections. Paul Dyck (1917-2006) was a local painter who grew up among many Plains Indian communities which became the subject of much of his work..

Richard was an amazing guide and Docent. Claudia in the gift shop was great. Amazing displays. Worth to visit. The Hopi mural and video is worth a watch.

A surprising find! Very interesting center, made even better by the docent that gave us a private tour! If you have any interest in the culture of the area you have to visit!

Bucket List for anyone interested in any Southwest Archaeology! The cultural complexity these artifacts reveal is amazing. This unassuming little museum houses a stunning collection of artifacts that were protected from the elements and from looters for 700+ years! Stunning bits of textiles! Intact arrows with visible painted markings and the fletch feathers still intact! Actual bows! Tens of thousands of seeds, corn cobs that look like modern Indian corn. People from the Smithsonian should come here to see this little museum. Do a YouTube search for Dr. Todd Bostwick New Discoveries Cliff Dwellings prior to going so you can really appreciate what you see.
