Where is a place where you can see World War II propaganda, unique pieces of silver, and a creepy wax mannequin? The Arizona State Capitol Museum, that’s where.
The 11th grade Humane Letters classes recently visited the museum and had an exceptional time. The museum contains a piece from the U.S.S Arizona, sunk at Pearl Harbor, as well as silver and gold from the ship. And yes, on the top floor, a terrifying wax statue of former Governor George Hunt.
The museum is a fantastic look at Arizona history, and quite the trip. “I enjoyed it quite a lot,” David Hudson said. Raven Guglielmo echoed him: “It was a fun experience and reminded me of when I was a child.”
Genevieve Gaylor’s favorite part was “Sitting in the old Senate seats. It was a fun experience.”
Next door, we also checked out the state Legislature’s office, and spotted a Pikachu sitting on a senator’s desk.
In addition, we also visited Pueblo Grande, an ancient Native American village, and learned about the history and structures of it.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and an interesting look at Arizona history.
