Mohave Museum

Map

Northwest Arizona is a varied land. Originally peopled by a race called "The Forgotten Ones," the area more recently was home to the Mohave, Hualapai, Chemehuevi, Havasupai, and Paiute Indians. The Mohave Museum of History and Arts presents the history of the Indian peoples and more recent residents; as well as being a repository of much Andy Devine memorabilia.

Andy Devine office

Among the memorabilia, the museum houses a representation of Andy's office as well as the saddle he used at many Rose Parades.
