Enter the wonderful world of Tempe’s history!

Take a journey through yesterday, today and tomorrow at the Tempe Historical Museum.

The Tempe Historical Museum is a center where the community comes together to celebrate Tempe’s past and ponder the future.

The main exhibit hall tells the story of Tempe from its prehistoric beginnings to its development into a desert southwestern urban center. The main hall is surrounded by three changing galleries that explore different aspects of Tempe’s history and change several times a year. There is always a reason to return.

 The Tempe Historical Museum also features a research library, archives, and gift shop.
