Ready for an exciting and educational activity in Phoenix? Check out the Rosson House Museum, where this beautifully restored Victorian-style home was built in 1895 and served as a residence for its owners and boarders during Arizona's territorial days. The 2,800-square-foot mansion is a fully-restored Queen Anne Victorian house museum that offers guided tours to visitors. During the 60-minute time, you'll get to explore all living areas of the house and learn about the lifestyles of early Phoenix families.

It is a relevant, engaging, inclusive community resource and a tangible connection to the diverse local history.
If you're a fan of architecture or appreciate stunningly designed structures, you won't want to miss touring Taliesin West. Frank Lloyd Wright-designed this masterpiece as his private winter home, studio, and architectural campus. Its prehistoric grandeur and deep connection to the surrounding desert will captivate you. What's even more impressive is that Wright and his apprentices built and maintained the building almost entirely by hand, making it one of the most personal creations of his career. Public tours are available daily, with themed terms incorporating Wright's architectural theories also on offer. As Wright once said, his mission was to "make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give reason, rhyme, and meaning to life." The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation seeks to continue this legacy by inspiring people to connect with nature, the arts, and each other through architecture.
