It's only $2 per person to enter and they take all forms of money. My boyfriend and I saw it all in about 35-40 minutes (including me reading every minute detail and looking at just about every artifact haha). While the focus is on the area mines' histories, one cannot forget about the town history as they are both intertwined. The town flourished when the mines flourished and vice versa. I found it interesting on the bits about the "red light district history" too - a bit of a scandalous past but part of the past. Spend a little time/money here, shop/browse the jewelry for sale up front and you're golden for an hour or so.

The Sedona Heritage Museum was different from other museums I've visited. While it wasn't very…read moreinteractive, there were plenty of readings and QR codes to scan for audio recordings, which added depth to the experience. It was especially interesting to learn about the family who once lived in the cabin and how the property was passed down through generations, giving a real sense of Sedona's history. Admission is $10, though cultural passes are available through local libraries. It seems the admission fee helps keep the museum running, as there are several signs encouraging visitors to pay at the door. We spent about an hour exploring both the indoor and outdoor exhibits. There were many unique and fun things to see, including the iconic turquoise McDonald's signs, a Morse code learning area, and an old-fashioned apple peeler/corer. Outside, the views of the Sedona red rocks were beautiful, and there's a nice park nearby that's perfect for a short walk. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the gift shop had lots of cute items. A nice bonus was that there's no sales tax in the store. If you have the time and want to learn more about Sedona's history, this is a nice spot.

We spent about 1 hour, maybe a bit more here, exploring several buildings, each filled with Sedona area history. The main building houses a huge amount of local history in the form of plaques, dioramas, physical items, pictures, art and more. The barn houses an old horse draw buggy, a restored vintage Sedona fire truck, an entire apply processing plant and much more. The small, tan colored building seen closest to the entry point is a nearly 100 year old, fully restored movie set piece that was used as the telegraph office. The wireless set is in there along with a vast amount of movie posters, artifacts and details about the impact the filming of nearly 100 westerns had on Sedona. There's also some spectacular views of close rock formations from the property. There are a couple of well done bronze art pieces outside. One is of a Cowboy Storyteller telling stories to two children. Another bronze is of a couple, standing on a broken wagon wheel, holding a lantern and looking straight ahead. This one is by artist John Muir and tells a story. This museum was a real nice visit.

I went to buy the admission for Tuzigoot and I was informed that my admission would also include free admission within the next week to go see Montezuma Castle National Monument. I had no idea that the pass would include both places. LUCKY me!! Anyhow, you must visit Montezuma Castle National Monument. It is absolutely amazing and breathtaking to see in person. It's so inspiring to think about how they built such a high-rise castle into the mountain. I absolutely loved the volunteer Park Ranger who was super knowledgeable and passionate about sharing information. One fact that he shared was that part of the reason that they built the structures into the mountain was to prevent them from being flooded away. He also shared about recent flooding events in the area from the past few years. He had additional photos to show and he was answering everybody's questions with such thorough information. The walk-through of the park itself was also amazing with lots of trees and a creek. Do not skip this!!!
