    Did not take the tour of the site. Stopped here to take the hike to the pond. Take cash for parking, $5, or you'll start you visit at the gift shop paying with your CC. The hike was about 2 miles round trip. Flat and easy till you get to the pond. Take the rocks up and enjoy the view. There are benches to sit on, so bring a snack to enjoy. Its worth the detour off the hwy.

    The next time you're driving on I-10 through beautiful Texas Canyon, take the Dragoon exit through the Little Dragoon Mountains and visit the world-famous Amerind Museum. This non-profit museum was created in 1937 and houses over 21,000 pieces of Euro-American and Native American artistic works. Everything from clothing, baskets, pottery and weapons from the culture of the Aleuts, Apaches, and Hopi. It's an amazing place that invites you to linger and savor these beautiful works of art, many of which were discovered in excavations by William Shirley Fulton, the founder. Another Arizona Treasure that I highly recommended for the whole family. Oh, and don't forget to pack a picnic lunch to eat in the shade of the mesquite trees. It's a lovely and peaceful place.

    A small portion of the eye-popping grounds.

    Another hidden treasure off I-10. We arrived by yellow school bus on a 5th grade field trip, delivered into the knowledgeable hands of some very sweet, dedicated volunteers. Our 10 years olds weaved baskets from Yucca leaves, shot arrows and at a mammoth, learned to study artifacts in a mock archeology site and oohed-ahhed their way through the museum's very impressive Native American collection. The kiddos loved it and so did I.

    Not easy to find: take the Dragoon exit just before Texas Canyon, make a right and it's down about a mile on the left.

The gentleman up front was very nice as was the woman in the shop. We snagged the last copy -- which was also signed! - then proceeded to pick up some souvenirs. They have a really nice selection of local books, art, crystals, and items like miners tags. I got a really cute little tree made of copper wire and green stones, and a mixed silver and copper ring. Recommend stopping by even if you don't have time for the museum. Its a nice little shop and as a Smithsonian affiliate, there's no tax!

Honestly, this was the best mine tour we've done in Arizona. You check in about 30 minutes before the tour. There's a little shop to browse, a spot to sit, and a short movie in the back that gives you a great background on the mine and how copper is made. The tour itself is about an hour, all underground. You ride in on a little train that you sit on kind of like a bike, and the temperature stays a cool mid-60s the whole time. They give you a hard hat, light, safety vest, and even a number tag - just like real miners use - so they know nobody gets left behind. Along the way, the train stops a few times so you can get off, check out artifacts, and walk into different areas while Steve tells more stories. When you come back up to the surface, have your sunglasses ready - the sunlight feels unbelievably bright after being underground. It was the highlight of our full day in Bisbee and something you do NOT want to miss.

For over 50 years Fort Huachuca has been the home to the world's largest unmanned aircraft systems training facility, as well, it has been a critical national asset in support of the Army's Unmanned Aerial Systems because of its restricted airspace and abundant training resources. They train Soldiers and Marines to fly and maintain a variety of UAVs. The museum has a number of small unmanned drones on display, that were tested at the Fort, as well as some of the cameras and GPS systems that were tested and used years ago in training. There is also a model of the UAS control simulator that was used for training pilots. The Fort is the primary training facility for all UAS Soldiers. If you have the time there is a small theatre down in front, with handicap access, where you will find chairs and a table to sit and watch video or read some of the books that are available there. This is a must see museum while visiting the Fort. It is located just across the parking lot from the Buffalo Soldiers Museum and an easy short walk. There is no charge to visit.

My father was a civilian guard as part of the maintenance folk that lived on the fort. When it reopened he worked in procurement and was a contracting officer for the "bis red" drone. It was being long-distance tested between Fort Huachuca and USAYPG (us army Yuma Proving Ground!) The unmanned aerial vehicle has come a long way even into child play!! The museum has examples of the evolution of the UAV!

You must enter the…read moreVan Deman Gate (East Gate), park your vehicle in a lot to the right, then go into the Visitor Control Center (VCC). You take a number and an information sheet to fill out. You need your drivers license and know your SS number. You will then be called by number to go to a window to be interviewed by Security. Once they verify your identity, they will photograph you and issue a security pass(good for 30 days) that will give you access to the base and the Museum Buildings. This Buffalo Soldier Museum is dedicated to the history of the U.S. Army in the American Southwest. Of particular importance, it tells the story of the Army's 10th Cavalry Regiment, the fighting unit more famously known as the Buffalo Soldiers, the all-Black regiment established immediately after the Civil War. After the Civil War, the U.S. Army formed regiments of Negro men, most of whom were former slaves, and many of whom had served in the United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.). The cavalry units were the 9th and 10th Cavalry, and the infantry were the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st which several years later were consolidated into the 24th and 25th infantry units. Black infantry troops often fought side-by-side with the black cavalry. These African-American soldiers were called "buffalo soldiers" by the Plains Indians. No one today is quite certain why. Some say it was because the men were as rugged as buffalo and others say that it was because the Indians saw a resemblance between the Black soldier's hair and the buffalo's shaggy coat. It has also been pointed out that many Black soldiers favored long buffalo-robe coats. Although the name was primarily applied to the cavalry, it was sometimes extended to include the Black infantry. After the Civil War, African Americans faced horrific discrimination. Some men enlisted to escape hopeless poverty and gain a certain respect, even though they were segregated from White troops. The Buffalo Soldiers fought in the Plains Indian Wars, the Apache Wars, the Spanish-American War, and The Punitive Mission against Mexico ordered by President Wilson and led by General John Pershing. Pershing had earned his nickname, 'Black Jack,' by leading Black regiments early in his career. By all accounts, these Black regiments distinguished themselves in service to their country, despite being given inferior horses and equipment.

    BEST STORE IN TOMBSTONE !!!!…read more Honestly, I have to say I had a great time in this store/museum. This is a profound collection of multi-culture oddities! The staff who I believe were the owners, were fantastic! They were personable and knowledgeable and took great care in wrapping my delicate items (I purchased a fully articulated bird skeleton in a delicate glass case as well as a taxidermied furry bat) as well as some odds and ends, crystals, Buffalo teeth and some AMAZING buttons ! Marshall Applewhites "Beam me up"! Baaaahahahaha! Everything made it back to San Diego with no problem ! They also gave me a few free incense sticks and a tombstone sticker. I can tell that the owners absolutely love their store and one even commented that it was his dream to have this place. The energy is palpable and gratitude is genuine. I also appreciated hearing the gal very lovingly dispel stereotypes to a curious customer regarding voodoo/witchcraft and energy and spell work. The passion is noticeable. I encourage anyone to visit this store while you are in tombstone and see the cool museum in the back that is really neat! Support these folks ! Blessed be.
