Ive been to this Museum several times over the past year, I love the idea of new exhibits and they dont disappoint. I loved the Hallelujah Hats exhibit and now they have Women in Aviation plus they have expanded on the historical founding families of the Mesa/Lehi area. If you want to take friends or visitors for a fun stop, I recommend this Museum.

Its tough to get excited about this museum when I had just visited the Tempe Historical museum--which is free and has much better displays. This is a former school building with displays in 3 rooms. The rest of the building is not really being used well as museum space. There is an outside exhibit or two, but not much to look at for $5. I saw everything in about 30 minutes. Try the Tempe Museum instead--much better...and FREE!

Attention to detail was the Mesa Historical Museum’s sponsored tour of the Mesa Cemetery. In their presentation were some famous and not so well known Including members of the RAF (British airmen killed while training at Falcon field in WW II) and the gravesite of Miranda. (You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be ....)Unlike most national museums that remain closed during this pandemic, I’m glad there is one local, educational place the public can frequent - safe, socially distance yet refreshingly with a return to normalcy

This place is great! Love the old school out front and the exhibits have all been updated. Great place to take the kids

Its a nice small museum.

So cool! Lots of interesting history, and a very charming place. Wasnt crowded, and has a fair admission fee. Must go again!

It was a beautiful art installation. Definitely noteworthy. We wanted to see it after watching it on Mesa Historical Museum.

Interesting museum..needs funds from the community to enhanced it.

We always visit local museums when we travel and this one was a wonderful surprise. A small museum but it tells colorful stories about local history. I loved the one room school house. My daughter was impressed with the basket weaving demonstration. Definitely a great place to visit.

Went to the annual flea market sale. Found some treasures. Hope to go next year.

What a great little gem tucked inside a historic school building. We had such a nice time. The exhibits are so well done and we enjoyed visiting with staff there.

I came here with my grandparents and I enjoyed watching the basket weaving demonstration. I never knew how they were made. We also got to see other kids working a spinning wheel. It’s a pretty cool place.

This museum is such a gem! I learned a lot about the history of Mesa that I never knew. I love the one room school house on the property. Highly recommend a visit.

We enjoyed our little visit informative. Staff is very very friendly. Small building slash house . Photos and items have little legends to read so those can be very informative.

Fun Halloween event

So glad this place is open.

An incredible piece of history. The historical building is being honored in a wonderful fashion. The exhibits are small but pack a huge punch. Very detailed exhibits provide a great learning experience for any age, take advantage of this gem before the masses find this treasure.

Great little local museum full of local info. Super cool to learn about things from the early time periods of Mesa and see the neat artifacts on display. Better for older kids and adults (3 yr old was less than impressed lol). Worth the stop if you love history!

I visited the Mesa Historical Museum to learn about the history of the area. I found it very interesting and the director there to be very nice and knowledgeable.

Really neat place to visit, and the staff are great!!!

I love historical museums!

Amazing look into the rich history of Mesa and Lehi. Properly located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in the valley in a historic building! Highly recommend a visit to everyone!

Small museum, but great for learning a bit about the history of Mesa

A small museum on the history of Mesa. A trip down memory lane for older people with the treddle sewing machine, old saddles and a mimiagraph machine. There is a gentleman there that is very friendly and informative, made the visit that much better.

Very interesting and informative, lots very unique items to view, highly recommended if you are interested in southwestern history!

A sad excuse for a museum, certainly they could do better than this. A couple pictures. A couple antique common household items. Believe me when I tell you I was generous with a rating of 1. Don’t waste your time. There are antique stores just down the street with more character than this.

Awesome place to visit and great activities for kids.

The display area is very small, but even so, about ten times more items could be displayed there. It tops my list of worst museums Ive visited. My expectations were low going in, but I was shocked at the lack of content. Its not like they dont have more exhibits that could be shown, either. The displays were so scarce and poorly done, I suspect something isnt on the up and up with the organization that runs it. Go to the Heard museum instead. This one is a waste of time.

Not quite what I expected. Should have kept the rooms of the founding families.

Cool museum showcasing items and experiences from life in the Phoenix metro area from its birth. Takes about 45 minutes to an hour to see everything.

Hours are not convenient for everyone. Small museum however quality exhibits and objects displayed. Staff friendly and well educated.

Worth a visit. This stuff used to be located just North of Downtown in Mesa neighborhood of Lehi. If youre a baseball fan there it tells the history of the Cactus League that was started in Arizona with the New York Giants baseball team.

Lots of good information

We were hugely disappointed in this museum. It is so small, you can see everything & be out of there within about an hour- after having read everything in the place. There are a few interesting relics but the flight section, is wasted, laughable space. They should have just left that to the awesome big aviation museum, nearby. We felt like we wasted $10.00 to look at it.

Great history collection

Loved it!

Educational!

Um yes, why my wife IS an historian..

Fun for everybody

Closed to the public

This museum shows up in google maps in the Lehi area and they even have a sign and items in the lawn but no sign tells you it moved!
