The Verde Valley Archaeology Center and Museum is the hub of the region’s archaeology that includes National Park Service monuments, U.S. Forest Service Heritage sites, preserves of The Archaeological Conservancy, and the Yavapai-Apache Nation. The museum provides a snapshot of ancient Indigenous life with displays of household goods, farming, weaving, and textiles. Two murals by contemporary Hopi artists tell the story of Hopi Life and of the emergence of the Hopi People. The Yavapai-Apache gallery features basketry showcasing their artistry. Fine-art exhibits complete an immersion into the archaeology and culture of Sedona and the Verde Valley.

Pinetop-Lakeside Historical Society and Museum is nestled in Arizona’s White Mountain region in the world’s largest contiguous ponderosa pine tree forest. Early settlers arriving in the late 1800s discovered a land rich in natural resources, and logging and sawmilling soon became main industries. Early pioneers established sawmills, namely, the Fish and Webb families. The largest sawmill–the William Cady Lumber Co, originally from Louisiana–was moved to McNary. This museum explores the area’s timber history and has many other important displays depicting the richness of Pinetop and Lakeside.

The Old Trails Museum is located in historic downtown Winslow and across the street from the Standin’ on the Corner Park. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building housed a series of banks starting in 1921, and the original marble-faced counter, mosaic-tile floor, and vault provide an authentic backdrop for the museum’s exhibits and collections. Historic objects, photographs, textiles, and documents illustrate Winslow’s unique story, which includes historic trails, the Santa Fe Railway, area ranches, trading posts, Fred Harvey’s La Posada Hotel, US Route 66, the Winslow-Lindbergh Regional Airport, and much more.

Founded in 1965, the Cosanti Foundation’s mission is to inspire a reimagined urbanism that builds resilient and equitable communities sustainably integrated with the natural world. We pursue this mission at our two flagship locations, Cosanti and Arcosanti, as well as with projects, programs, and partnerships that hundreds of thousands of people have participated in over the years. Through ongoing experimentation with the theory of arcology (a combination of the words architecture and ecology), we seek to demonstrate a kind of construction and community that provides an alternative to sprawl development and helps solve modern social and environmental crises.
