A wonderful visit of a friendly museum. The museum far exceeded my expectations, with incredible things you would never get to see anywhere else. It had a very local feeling, as most of the displayed items had an Ash Fork history. The staff were very friendly and were willing to help explain any questions I had. The museum was free, had information brochures and maps of surrounding Arizona towns, and had gift shop items available. A MUST VISIT for anyone traveling through Ash Fork with a little time.
