The Arizona Heritage Center at Papago Park in Tempe is a leading history museum showcasing Arizona's past, including the rise of desert cities, World War II, and local cultural diversity. Located in a scenic area with manicured courtyards, it offers in-depth, high-quality exhibits, featuring topics like Japanese-American internment and mineral history
This place was really neat to visit. It had a lot of history and facts that I did not know, and I frequent history museums. The quilt room was quite overwhelming , and to say that I sobbed, is an understatement. Moving, sad, revealing. A must do!!

My husband and I were married at Hackett House 11/11. It was important to us that the money spent went back into the community, Hackett House was the perfect local spot for this. Angie handled the rental for our event. SHE WAS AMAZING. Hackett House went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was prepared for mindfully and carried out beautifully. The Hackett House staff handled the deliveries and semantics of set up wonderfully and cares for our guests kindly. Whenever we plan a big party again we will think of Hackett House as a venue.
Thank you again for everything!
