L. Alan Cruikshank River of Time Museum
The River of Time Museum in Fountain Hills recounts the captivating past
of this desert valley. Here you’ll trace the steps of ancient people who passed
through the Valley following the river for game and water. Learn about the
large communities that grew here centuries ago and why they disappeared.
As you pass beneath a shade ramada, you’ll learn how the Yavapai migrated
throughout Central Arizona, moving with the seasons and the availability of
food. Continue on with explorers and trappers as they travel the river routes.
Enter a mine as prospectors look for gold and find amethyst. Learn about Fort
McDowell and the struggle to bring peace to the Valley.
Then join the “river tamers,” as they build dams and canals. See how “the
dam that never was” brought about the development of Fountain Hills. Check
out the changing exhibit gallery and the River Bank Gift Store. The River of
Time Museum has something new around every bend. The Museum is located
in the Library Museum Building at 12901 N. La Montana Blvd., Fountain Hills. Call
