SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN MUSEUM

Perhaps nowhere in the U. S. is there an area as full of legend and intrigue as the Supersitition Mountains. So we had to stop in the museum and what a treat it was. The Historical Society has really worked hard to put together a very impressive collection of artifacts, art work and minerals.


This sign tells us that the oldest "arrowhead" in the collection shown below is 9,000 years old (upper left hand corner). And even though it looks like an arrowhead, bows weren't invented at that time so it is probably a spear head. But 9,000 years old!!






Other exhibits include a model stagecoach and this rock which was claimed from the reconstruction of Roosevelt Dam.
