Desert Caballeros Western Museum

If you want to visit a museum with real relics of the wild west, the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in the town of Wickenburg, Arizona is the perfect destination. The museum is part of the Blue Star Families, a group of more than 700 museums across the country, who, through the National Endowment for the Arts, offers free admission to active duty military personnel during the summer months. The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am until 5 pm and Sunday from noon until 4 pm. During the summer the museum is closed on Mondays, as well as being closed on Memorial Day, Labor Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, and New Years Day. Adult admission is $7.50 and there are discounts for seniors, children, and groups. The museum is a popular destination for school and tour groups and docent-led tours are available with a reservation beforehand. School groups can tour the museum free of charge. The museum is also a great destination for business and personal celebrations. The museum incorporates the streets of "Old Wickenburg" into the event so guests get a feel for the entire experience. There is a museum gift shop that offers fine art reproductions and books.
