Ajo History Museum

  People have been living around Ajo for centuries – first Native Americans, then Mexican surface miners, American pit miners, and finally artists, retirees, and border patrol agents. A rich cultural heritage has been formed by the intermingling of Native American, Mexican, and Anglo traditions

   The history of the Native Americans and the miners can be found in this small museum which was originally St. Catherine’s Indian Mission. The first section has carefully displayed artifacts representing life in Ajo in the early 1900s. Native American pottery and grinding stones form another exhibit. Mining history, handmade dioramas, old photographs, bookshelves of research materials and miscellaneous items fill the rest of the museum rooms. Old equipment is on display outside.

   The museum is accessible but the ramps from one section to another are a little steep. The ground outside is hard-packed so pushing is not very difficult.

   The parking lot is large enough for any RV. Museum  32.36258, -112.87276

  2. Did you know there's a 12 word sentence you can tell your man... that will induce deep emotions of love and impulsive attraction for you buried inside his chest?

    That's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's impulse to love, please and guard you with his entire heart...

    This impulse is so built-in to a man's mind that it will make him try better than before to love and admire you.

    As a matter of fact, triggering this powerful impulse is so mandatory to getting the best possible relationship with your man that the instance you send your man a "Secret Signal"...
