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.

Don't let the exterior of Beyond Expression Antiques fool you. Despite having an unassuming simple adobe exterior, a fascinating world of antiques awaits to be discovered once you step through the door. You will be immediately impressed with the selection of vintage and Victorian furniture that the shop carries that are made up of Eastlake, Rococo and Renaissance pieces. You will also find a stunning selection of vintage glass, silver, and porcelain that include works by Galle, Loetz, and Tiffany.

In a world where art continues to be created with the help of a computer, it is refreshing to see artisans who use basic materials to construct something truly memorable. While many of these individuals use various materials to create their art, the ones who are well versed in the practice of woodcarving are the stars whose work is celebrated every year in Mesa at the Annual Desert Woodcarving Show and Sale. This art festival of sorts features wood sculptures by some of the most talented local, regional and national woodcarvers who all convene for this very popular annual event held every February.
