Superstition Mountain Museum has indoor and outdoor historical facts and sites to see. The museum is also known as The Lost Dutchman Museum. We had the opportunity to visit in the autumn when the weather was great for touring all the outdoor sites.

Superstition Mountain Museum Grounds
We spent a lot of time outside visiting the areas, such as the Boot Hill, 1/8 Inch Mine, The Stamp Ore Mill, the Model Railroad Setup, Apacheland Barn, and Elvis Memorial Chapel.
There are plenty of signs to point you in the right direction if you lose your map.
We took a stroll on the well-maintained hiking trail to visit the Memorial Bench.

Visiting Superstition Mountain Museum
We enjoy learning about the past and seeing historical sites. Visiting Superstition Mountain Museum allowed us to learn more about the area. The grounds were very nice to walk around on such a beautiful day.
If you are visiting the area, you are just down the road from the Lost Dutchman State Park, where they host birding classes, music concerts, and night sky talks.
Would you visit the Elvis Memorial Chapel?
I’ve heard of Superstition Mountain Museum. Visiting this place would be a must.
There is so much to see and learn when visiting.
Wow I never knew this was a thing. My Dad is always out this way hanging at the Salt river. Maybe we will check this out next time.
The Salt River is very close to this location.
