Our museum is a 1200 sqft., newly renovated space housing more than 2000 artifacts that showcase the rich history and culture of Gila Bend and the surrounding region. The Gila Bend Museum is a testament to life in the wild west desert.


The museum presents the story of the Great Bend of the Gila River, beginning with the Papago people (known today as the Tohono O'odham), the mining and ranching communities that followed, and the advancement of modern life in Gila Bend.
