Very, very Arizona. Very, very Southwest. Very, very Wild, Wild West! You must visit this expansive, mostly outdoor period piece, original historic relics from the day, too much to list. Learn firsthand and by visual real artifacts of the time about Arizona mining, well drilling machinery, a museum and museum store, exhibits, miniature train for Kiddies, and much, much more. The concept for this location initiated with the organization of the Superstition Mountain Historical Society in the 1980s. At the time many in the local community donated much of what can be seen when visiting, especially the incredible mining equipment donated by the historic Phelps Dodge Mining Company. This place is the real deal. If you are interested, fascinated and curious of all things of how the west was, here is how it is today – a snapshot in time. For western movie buffs, remnants of Apacheland where cowboy movies were once filmed lay here to be admired. There is simply too much to see, and visiting is the only way to appreciate it. We visit occasionally and bring friends and family who visit us from out of town, and everyone, everyone is amazed to step back in time. Thanks to the hard-working volunteers and visitors who donate, that help keep this priceless antique alive to educate the future about our...

I have always treasured Superstition Mountain -Lost Dutchman Museum and took my family out of town visitors there. However my experience on Saturday 3/16/23 had ruined that! Sue in the gift shop (opening crew) was not only rude to a fellow co- worker in front of customers in a VERY LOUD and irritated voice... she was also rude to our family at which point we walked away. I had a group of 10 family members from out of state that bought items from the museum. One of the family members walked by wire awhile later and could hear her talking very loudly and rudely in the open referring to my 80 year old grandma (who by the way had NOTHING to do with the initial interaction). This ruined a surprise trip planned by her grandchildren because she wanted to visit Arizona one last time. Sue has tainted her fond memories of the museum. Sue is a volunteer and we were not being rude and there was a much better way to handle the initial interaction..... but with the rude continuation of her tirade - I will NO LONGER give patronage to this establishment. The world at large is ugly enough without the pettiness that Sue expressed in the open of your gift shop. Maybe in the future screen your volunteers for their customer service abilities, because Sue is...
