Diamondback Lock and Key of Mesa

The art of the trade is something that merchants have done for centuries. That tradition is still at the heart of the Mesa Market Place Swap Meet. Every weekend, hundreds of bargain hunters convene at this popular market which features over 1,600 vendors that bring an incredible selection of merchandise. Admission is free and the parking is, too. There are various restaurants available to offer you a quick bite before you get back to the serious business of bargain hunting and swapping.

Some of the most daring moments of World War II can be revisited in a most spectacular way when you spend some time at the Arizona Wing CAF Aviation Museum. See attractions like some of the actual planes that were flown during the World War II era. While this facility features several noteworthy aircraft, the star of the show is one affectionately named “Sentimental Journey,” a fully restored B-17. These amazing planes have been so meticulously refurbished that many are still able to fly. Your visit will be augmented by several additional vintage memorabilia as well as photographs and a handful of exhibits.
