The Sedona Heritage Museum occupies the former Jordan family farmstead inside Jordan Historical Park at 735 Jordan Road, a short walk north of uptown Sedona’s main strip. Here, the town’s past as an orchard and ranching community comes into focus, and visitors come for the early settler stories behind today’s red rock resort town (source: Sedona Heritage Museum).
Permanent exhibits cover early settlers, ranching and cowboy life, the orchard industry, and the many Westerns filmed against Sedona’s cliffs. A gallery is devoted to Sedona Schnebly, the pioneer woman whose name the town carries. The 4.8-acre park includes walking trails and a working fruit orchard, which ties the exhibits to the land around them (source: City of Sedona). An audio tour, picnic areas, and panoramic red rock views make the visit longer than a quick look indoors. The gift shop sells locally made goods, books, and Sedona souvenirs, and its sales support the nonprofit museum (source: Visit Sedona).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
The museum is open daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and adult admission is $10. Children receive reduced or free entry (source: Sedona Heritage Museum). Arrive at opening on weekdays to beat the spring and fall crowds, and plan on 60 to 90 minutes. Parking on site is easier than in uptown, so you can leave your car here and walk Jordan Road to the shops. The grounds also host weddings and events, so call ahead if you are planning a group visit.
