The Superstition Mountain Museum is in the Superstition Mountain range in Central Arizona. The museum offers visitors an experience of the Old West, focusing on the region's history, Native American people, early western settlers, local geology, and industry. The Museum Gallery features a detailed exploration of the region's history with artifacts, multi-media exhibits, and docent-led tours. Visitors can observe a working display of large-scale model trains and a 100-year-old Cossak 20-stamp ore mill and explore the museum's vast collection of Western movie and television history memorabilia. The Village exhibit includes two brush structures, a cooking area, and a hide drying rack, and visitors can find books, apparel, local Native American arts and crafts, and seasonal gift selections.
The MCC Theatre has been a significant venue for the college's performing arts program and a community landmark for three decades. It has helped countless students launch their careers, provided a platform for community forums, and even hosted the President of the United States. Before the theatre's opening in 1978, the MCC theatre program had to perform in the student cafeteria or wherever space was available. The theatre was initially designed to serve as a lab for theatre students. Still, over the years, it has also hosted several other events, the most notable being George W. Bush's appearance in 2004 to discuss his proposal for federal grant job training programs for community colleges. Despite this, the venue's primary aim has been to foster and train the college's students in all aspects of the performing arts, resulting in numerous award-winning musical, theatrical, and dance productions.
