Since the establishment of the first AHS museum in Tucson, the organization has grown to include museums and historical properties across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, AHS operates seven museums and owns three other historic properties. The two largest are the Arizona Heritage Center on College Avenue in Tempe and The Arizona History Museum in a historic Josias Joesler-designed building near the University of Arizona campus. Both locations feature extensive research libraries and archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also in Tucson is the Downtown History Museum, in the historic Wells Fargo Building, and the Fort Lowell Museum, which includes a public park with Hohokam Native American sites, a historic neighborhood, picnic facilities and playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North in Flagstaff, AHS owns and manages The Arizona Historical Society Pioneer Museum, the former 1908 Coconino County Hospital for the Indigent. In addition, AHS operates the 13,000-square-foot Riordan Mansion, an American Arts and Crafts-style masterpiece built in 1904 for two brothers and their families who helped build the area\u2019s lumber industry and the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In downtown Yuma, visitors can see the 19<sup>th<\/sup>-century century Sanguinetti House Museum and Gardens, the original home of merchant E. F. Sanguinetti (1867\u20131945). This historic adobe home, known as the \u201cJewel of Historic Yuma\u201d, is near the banks of Colorado River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other historic properties overseen by AHS are the 1870s\u2019 Sosa-Carrillo House in Tucson, a preserved example of Sonoran and Territorial architecture in the Barrio Libre neighborhood, and the Charles O. Brown House, an adobe from the early 1840s, probably the Old Pueblo\u2019s earliest building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Mexican border, The Douglas-Williams House was built and occupied by mine owner James S. (\u201cRawhide Jimmy\u201d) Douglas and later owned by banker and rancher and mayor Ben F. Williams, Sr.; and, along the Mogollon Rim, the one-room Strawberry School House, 1885, is believed to be the state\u2019s oldest standing example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"750\"  height=\"563\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-80x60.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-9165 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-750x563.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-260x195.jpg 260w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-620x465.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-83x63.jpg 83w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society-850x638.jpg 850w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144732\/Arizona-Heritage-Center-Phoenix.-Photo-Arizona-Historical-Society.jpg 1500w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>AHS offers much more beyond the buildings made of mortar, brick, stick and adobe.

In addition to providing educational and engaging content for families and children through the website-based Digital Hub, AHS continues to develop new digital programming and content, including digital puzzles, video tours, behind-the-scenes peeks at collections and virtual panel discussions for people of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"the-panache-of-pv\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Panache of PV<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"750\"  height=\"422\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-80x45.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-9167 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-750x422.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-620x349.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-850x478.jpg 850w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien-257x144.jpg 257w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/25144745\/Paradise-Valley-Property.-Photo-Brandon-Hamilton-Private-Clien.jpg 1500w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPV has Arizona\u2019s highest valued homes, sought after by buyers of discrimination from around the world,\u201d says Joe Morales, Realtor\u00ae and the Private Client Group co-listing agent with Aazami for the property. \u201cAnd, we are fortunate that, even with the pandemic, people are still seeking distinctive homes in our area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PV\u2019s 14,215 residents (2019 U.S. Census Bureau [CB]) are near ten resorts, including the soon-to-be-completed $2-billion Palmeraie\u00ae world-class community, featuring a Ritz-Carlton hotel\/spa, boutique shops and luxury homes and townhomes.
