Now Open!
Tucked behind a vine-covered archway in the heart of downtown Yuma is the enchanted Sanguinetti House Museum and Gardens — the Jewel of Historic Yuma.

The Sanguinetti House Museum is a cherished page in Yuma’s history books. Former proprietor, E. F. Sanguinetti (1867-1945), is recognized in history as the “Merchant Prince of Yuma” for his vision and grit that sparked a string of businesses spanning multiple industries in Yuma County. Sanguinetti left an indelible mark as one of Yuma’s most influential change-makers. The Sanguinetti House Museum and Gardens is a testament to his legacy.

• Stroll through the charming 9th-century adobe home, seeing early Yuma through the eyes of E. F. Sanguinetti.
• Savor a tranquil moment in E. F. Sanguinetti's vintage rose gardens.

Plan a visit to the Sanguinetti House Museum and Gardens. Discover for yourself why it is the jewel of historic Yuma.
