The museum is small, but carries a big legacy. While many of the exhibits are general U.S. history several prominent families that helped found and develop Gilbert are detailed. If you are familiar with the area you will recognize several names. It will not take much time to see all the exhibits so a visit to The Gilbert Historical Museum is a great start or end to a tour of Downtown Gilbert. Go see the Water Tower Park, have brunch at one of the amazing eateries and learn about small town America.

This private gallery is free and open to the public. It has a phenomenal collection of over 3000 items of classic western art (oils, bronzes, kachinas, baskets, guns), many illustrative of historical events. A quick walk through will take at least two hours, so plan on returning. There are chairs and sofas that allow a bit if a rest.

Pieces of Gilbert history intertwined with some unique artifacts of past times! The price is a bargain at $5 adults, $4 Seniors, $3 kids 12 & under! A great way to spend an afternoon! Renovations currently happening.

Very impressive museum and very well done. Definitely recommend seeing the movie and it enhances the experience. Museum is divided between European and Pacific battles, tells very personal stories.

Loved this little museum! I learned so much about the history of Gilbert (which is more extensive than I expected). The guides are super friendly, and everything is laid out very nicely.
