Ten Great Experiences to Have in Tucson, Tucson, Arizona

Tucson is full of adventures, historical sites, great restaurants, and lots of fun, easy-going residents. Here are some highlights from our trip, describing ten great experiences to have in Tucson.

We discovered this museum as we drove from Willcox to Tucson. As often happens, we saw a sign for a museum we had never heard of before and followed the sign, turning off of I-10 toward Dragoon and this fantastic museum. It is a bit of a drive off of the freeway but well worth the trip.

This incredible museum, art gallery, and research center houses one of the country’s largest private collections of Native American artifacts.

Here, you will find thousands of exhibits of Native American items from long ago to the present. This museum is part of the Amerind Foundation, which was founded in 1937 by William Shirley Fulton. The exhibits here are from his personal collection.
