dobson museum

Available with reservations by appointment only, it is a unique collection of things obtained over a lifetime. Windy, the owner, has many stories to relate about the thousands of things on display. Much of the collection was found at sites nearby, and certainly help you understand and appreciate the rigors of life in the Arizona desert. Of course there are also items from as far away as Canada. Take the time. It is unique and very interesting.

Ace and Windy Dodson started searching for and collecting artifacts over 50 years ago. Although Ace passed away a few years ago, Windy gives guided and informative tours of their house and grounds...which is jam-packed with tools, tractors, old re-located cabins, every inch covered with a piece of history. Her knowledge ranges from condom tins (Yes, that's right!!) to 1920's tractors and combines. It's an eye-opening history lesson, well worth the drive.
