Permanent and special exhibits of contemporary western art in oils, watercolor, and bronzes (some by Solon Borglum brother of Borglum who did Mount Rushmore). Outdoor bronzes by Gene Galagan.
Located about six miles north of Prescott on a scenic stretch of Hwy 89 that takes you through the Granite Dells, it is well worth a stop if you enjoy western art and learning about cowboys and ranch life. The Constellation trail through the dells is right across the highway. (This trail is beautiful, but you can hear the highway traffic while you are on most of it.)
