The Past is Present at Superstition Mountain Museum
Article By Bill Van Nimwegen
Legends of the Old West are alive and thrilling at the Superstition Mountain Museum. Located in the shadow of the majestic mountain landmark, people come from near and far to drink in the scenery and learn about this storied region. A popular location for film, television and commercial studios, the Superstitions are uncannily familiar to visitors because of how many times their incredible images appear in media. From the quaint chapel steeple that greets you at the Museum’s entrance, to the iconic Wells Fargo stagecoach, visitors feel like they have been here before.
Exhibits in the Gallery
The Superstition Mountain Museum features engaging displays of history, geology, past cultures and enduring local lore. Layout, color and multimedia are now integrated to enhance the visitor’s experience. And don’t miss the infamous maps to the Dutchman’s lost gold mine. (Photography permitted!)
Old West Performances
During the cooler months of October-April, Saturdays are especially popular when the Superstition Mountain Renegades act out stories and gunplay on the grounds. Informal meet and greets with members of the troupe are great for selfies and encouraged by the costumed actors.
Working on the
Railroad or in the Mine
The extensive model train layout that traces the growth and industry that blossomed along the tracks is fascinating. On display are large, G-scale trains running through timetraveling landscapes and towns of the Superstition region. Miniature storylines appearing along the tracks enhance our connection with the past. Visitors are also fascinated by the educational mining history trail. Assay and mine offices, the operating 100-year-old 20-stamp
ore mill and many other relics of 1800s mining are on display and demonstrated.
Classes and Lectures at the Museum
The Superstition Mountain Museum hosts classes and weekly lectures to help you enjoy life in our beautiful region. An introduction to Dutch oven cooking, Navajo weaving and desert survival classes are all very popular.
Don’t Miss the Gift Shop
The Museum has an extensive collection of books about the local region, Native American jewelry and unique gifts are available for purchase in the store. The Superstition Mountain Museum also hosts two cultural arts and crafts festivals during the season and book fairs that feature local authors.
Superstition Mountain Museum is open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., seven days a week during Fall, Winter and Spring months. In the hot Summer months, hours of operation are shortened but there’s still plenty to see. Many of our spaces are available to rent for private events. The Elvis Chapel, Apacheland Barn, and 14 acres of desert beauty provide numerous settings for weddings, photo shoots, and parties. Visit superstitionmountainmuseum.org f o r current information.
Umatilla County Historical Society Heritage Station Museum
The Umatilla County Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1974, and each year’s Board of Directors has built upon the vision of its 100 charter members in providing the means to document and share local history.
An historic journal, Pioneer Trails, was first published in 1976. It continues to be printed quarterly to document the stories of the people, places and events in Umatilla County.
In 1981, contents of the Sturgis Museum at Blue Mountain Community College were donated to the Historical Society, which was the beginning of its collection of historic objects.
A storefront gallery opened as headquarters for the Historical Society in 1985. Limited exhibits were installed and Terrific Tuesdays, an educational
program series, began.
Arrangements were made to convert Pendleton’s 1909 train depot to a museum in 1987. Renovations followed and the exhibits, programs, and collections came under one roof for the first time in 1988.
As the organization continued its steady growth, it became apparent that the Historical Society was outgrowing its space. A facility expansion was completed in the Fall of 2003. The depot was renovated for use as exhibit galleries, and a new entry building and preservation wing were constructed to provide space for a classroom, a museum store, offices, work space and artifact storage. The over $2.8 million project also included a courtyard, landscaping of the museum grounds, and construction of a small open-air amphitheater.

21st Annual “Cowgirl Up! Art from the Other Half of the West” Invitational Exhibition and Sale!
-- Fine art by over 55 of the West’s best women artists -Wickenburg, Arizona – Desert Caballeros Western Museum (DCWM) is proud to host the 21th annual “Cowgirl Up! Art from the Other Half of the West” Invitational Exhibition and Sale. For 21 years, “Cowgirl Up!” has attracted emerging and established women artists from all over the country who depict the Western lifestyle in painting, drawing and sculpture. Each year, more than 300 applicants are reviewed; this year, over 55 were selected as representative of the top women Western fine artists today for one of the largest exhibitions yet. “Cowgirl
Up!” is much more than an exhibition. It’s a crossroads where artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts come together to explore what it means to be a Western artist. “CU!” artists ride the range of techniques, styles, and mediums, from traditional to contemporary. All of the art is available for purchase, with each sale supporting the endeavors of women artists working today and of the Desert Caballeros Western Museum. “CU!” art can be bought throughout the run of the exhibition at the Museum or online at westernmuseum.org.
“Cowgirl Up!” truly confirms the Museum’s recently-adopted mission statement: To share the stories, cultures, and experiences of the West. “We’re pleased to be including several new artists again this year, to keep the show fresh and continue to broaden its scope”, says DCWM Curator and Deputy Director Mary Ann Igna.
Returning this year is the “Western Women of Distinction Luncheon and the Elizabeth Hudson Smith Award”. The fourth annual luncheon is set for Tuesday, April 15th at the Museum and is sponsored by the National Bank of Arizona. This fundraiser will continue to expand the legacy of the Museum’s signature exhibition while celebrating and recognizing accomplished women of the West. It is also meant to inspire other women to further the Western spirit.
“Last year’s luncheon was such an overwhelming success that we plan to celebrate this new tradition indefinitely. I like the idea of Wickenburg being a national leader in promoting all women of the West,” says DCWM Executive Director Dan Finley.
We have a public nomination process for the Elizabeth Hudson Smith Award will be available at westernmuseum.org later in January, 2026.
In 2006, Desert Caballeros Western Museum embraced a r evolutionary idea: an annual exhibition showcasing the brightest contemporary female artists working in the Western genre. In the male-dominated world of Western art, “Cowgirl Up!” turned the spotlight squarely on women’s voices and perspectives, serving up a new, deeper understanding of the
American West. Eighteen years later, “CU!” remains a major national event for Western women artists.
The Desert Caballeros Western Museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. The Museum is known as “Arizona’s Most Western Museum” and serves 50,000 visitors a year. The Museum preserves and exhibits the art and history of the Southwest and the desert frontier, and is well-known for its innovative exhibitions and programming. Its world-renowned collections of American Western fine art, American Indian art and artifacts, and captivating interactive exhibits together create an unforgettable experience for visitors. The Museum’s entire lower level is devoted to a re-creation of life in Late Territorial Wickenburg. The Museum further enhances the visitor experience by offering a free audio guided tour system for adults and children, in English and Spanish. The Museum also has two stores, The Museum Store and Ranch Dressing.

Bisbee, Arizona Queen Mine Tours
In 1877 a reconnaissance detail of army scouts and cavalrymen was sent to the Mule Mountains to search the area for renegade Apaches . What civilian tracker Jack Dunn found instead were signs of mineralization indicating the presence of lead, copper and possibly silver. The fi rst mining claim was staked in what would later become the City of Bisbee. The fi ling of this claim, and a multitude of others fi led by George Warren, sent prospectors and speculators scurrying to the Mule Mountains in hopes of striking it rich Numerous rich ore bodies were located and Bisbee soon became known as the “Queen of the Copper Camps”
D uring almost a century of mining, 8 billion pounds of copper, 102 million ounces of silver and 2 .8 million ounces of gold along with millions of pounds of zinc, lead and manganese were produced By 1974 ore reserves had been depleted and December brought the announcement of the impending closure of mining operations in Bisbee . Phelps Dodge curtailed open pit operations that year and ceased underground operations in 1975 . It appeared as though the queen was about to be laid to rest .
W ith the departure of its industrial base, the real estate market in Bisbee collapsed as hundreds of homes went up for sale The availability of cheap real estate drew retirees, “hippies” and eventually a new group of speculators These new residents purchased property and slowly began to contribute to the renovation of the city
T he Bisbee of today is a well-known artist’s community whose architectural and historic heritage has been preserved . Located at the center of the natural and historic beauty of Cochise County, the city has transformed itself into the ideal spot for tourism. These benefi ts combined with “the most perfect year round climate” make it an attractive place to visit and a great place to call home .

Prairie Edge & Sioux Trading Post
Some think of us as a Native American art gallery; others see us as an authentic trading post reminiscent of days gone by, but everyone who visits us leaves with the same thing…an experience that lasts forever.
Ray Hillenbrand established the Prairie Edge concept in the early 1980s with two primary purposes:
• Educate the public about and preserve the heritage and culture of the Northern Plains Indians.
• Provide Northern Plains Indian artists an outlet for their finest work (at a fair price to them).
Located on the corner of 6th Street and Main in downtown Rapid City, Prairie Edge stands two stories high and stretches out for half a block. The brick, wood, and glass storefront has been restored to its original 19th century glory.
Inside, the hardwood floors and polished cabinetry recall the spirit of the Old West, while the distinct smell of sage and sweetgrass as well as the soft sound of a Lakota flute evoke the mystique of the Great Plains Indian.
Art of the Lakota & More
Prairie Edge presents the world’s foremost collection of authentic Native American art, crafts, jewelry and culture. The spirit of the Old West and the traditions and mistique of the Plains Indians, are all housed in South Dakota’s premier historic building.
