Sanguinetti House Museum

b
   E.F. Sanguinetti moved to Yuma in 1883 when he was 15 and became a well known businessmen with a chain of general stores, a dairy, an ice plant, a mortuary, a stockyard and a thousand acre farm. The two original rooms of his home, with later additions added on, houses the museum displays. This is a very small museum, somewhat lacking in content. The little garden and aviary behind the house are very nice.

  The museum and garden are accessible but there’s a step down to the original two room house section. It can be accessed through an outside door. The gift shop has a step up onto the porch but no ramp.

  There are several free city lots across the street. Parking is also available at city hall. All the lots can accommodate RVs. The sidewalks and curb cuts are in good condition.  Museum
