The Desert Caballeros Western Museum is one of the top destinations for visitors looking to immerse themselves in the old-west that Wickenburg embodies.
What was life like in the Old West? Experience Wickenburg just after the turn of the last century, as Arizona approached statehood. Encounter the spaces, places, and people of Wickenburg as you wander the streets of the town and visit a Victorian-era home and a Western-style ranch. The touchable exhibits explore how the people of Wickenburg learned to work with the land, coexist among the peoples of Arizona, and survive the challenges of the Sonoran Desert.
There are also quite a few Native American items, like rugs, pottery, and blankets, most of which were made by the area’s natives.
It’s fascinating to see how much we take for granted these days, and the incredible hardships the pioneers and Native Americans faced day in and day out.
Signature Exhibitions include ‘Cowgirl Up’ – An annual exhibition showcasing the brightest contemporary female artists working in the Western genre.
