4/11/2025 - Arizona Heritage Center

 


This museum the Arizona Heritage Center is located in Tempe, AZ.  The heritage center is part of the Arizona Historical Society that is located in three towns in Arizona.  I have never been here before and I got some free passes from my dad. So, my mom and I decided to go up there.

Has you can see in the picture it is a huge building.  There is a museum and big library that you can find a lot of info about Arizona history.

Here are some things you can see at the museum.


Barry Goldwater's Ham Radio Desk: Barry Goldwater was a lifelong ham radio enthusiast.  His civilian call sign was K7UGA and military call sign was AFA7UGA.


Shaping Arizona: The exhibit highlights how the state of Arizona gained its current shape and how the influences us today.  The land and shape we know as Arizona was formed by different negotiations, violent disputes, agreements and purchases.

There are two exhibits that talk about the Desert Cities and WWII.



This car was made out of four different parts of the car.


My stepdad worked for Valley National Bank aka Chase.  When I ever see a sign, I have to take a picture of it.


Do you remember Bob's Big Boy restaurant?  I have seen the figure, but I don't remember if I have been to the restaurant.
