Arizona Capitol Museum & Bolin Memorial Park

035
  Arizona does not have a state history museum in it’s capital city however the old state capitol building has been refurbished and has a few exhibits. Most of the exhibits deal with the state government but there’s also a brief history of Arizona’s path to statehood and an exhibit about the USS Arizona, the battleship that exploded and sank during the attack on Pearl Harbor, killing 1,177 officers and crewmen.

  Bolin Memorial Park, which is located directly across the street from the museum, has a memorial to the men who died on the Arizona along with a couple dozen memorials and monuments to groups and individuals who served in the armed forces or helped shape the state.

  The museum and the park are accessible. Smooth paved paths lead past all of the monuments.

  Two public parking lots are located in Bolin Park. Small RVs will fit parked to overhang the grass. Larger RVs can park across several spaces. We visited on Saturday and the parking lots were almost empty.   Museum
