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..

The staff were very knowledgeable, and we were able to get a guided tour of the collection. The extent of the collection on display is modest, but the quality of artifacts and presentation is excellent. We also enjoyed the pre-recorded video by a member of the Hopi Nation. It covered some of their origin story, and the multiple worlds they believe humans have moved through.

This museum is worth seeing. A docent takes you around to each exhibit and she was very knowledgeable. It's mostly about the Hopi culture, and helps you to understand their history. The main reason I went was to see the meteor room where there are pieces from the meteor that created Meteor Crater, but was pleasantly surprised to find how much information there was all over the museum. We spent about an hour there. There are also Native American gardens that you can walk and learn about a pit site (where people lived underground). The trail starts at a parking lot and heads into some heavy foliage. It was starting to rain so we didn't walk it. When you ask who was with me, it was "family" but not teens. My 39 year old son came with and enjoyed the museum also.
