At the museum, you will see photos and artifacts that retell the story of the town's past. The second room is sectioned off by topic, ranging from mining and cowboys to Native Indians. Visitors will see gemstones, mineral samples, a packsaddle, spurs, Navajo blankets and arrow points. There is a special spot in the museum that houses a variety of United States flags, which is very unique. The Ajo Historical Museum has a gift shop for you to browse through during your visit.
Summer hours are by appointment only.
