The River of Time Museum explores the history, cultures and natural environment of the Lower Verde River Valley. Exhibits cover Indigenous communities, pioneer life, ranching, mining, archaeology, geology and the essential role water has played in shaping the region.
It is a worthwhile stop for new residents who want to understand the community beyond its homes, parks and famous fountain. Before leaving, visit the Riverbanks Gift Shop for regional books, artwork and jewelry created by local artisans.
