Arizona State History Museum at the Capitol (Phoenix, AZ) – August 2008

 I originally posted some of these pictures with a travel blog write-up (and the link to the original was below).  I decided I wanted to share all the pictures I took of a particular area of point of interest, so some of these you will have seen before if you’ve been following this blog for a bit.  The link below gives more of the details, so I’m not going to rehash them here.  You’ll see that as I’d gotten a digital camera around this time, the number of pictures of an area has increased.

 There was an actual name for this place, but I don’t recall it.  Basically, you went in the state capitol building, and there was a section showing some state history.  Perhaps it didn’t have a separate name, but the above should be enough so you can find it.  This wasn’t extensive, so about an hour was enough to see it all, but it was sufficient to give you a taste.  From native artwork to a display on the Buffalo Soldiers, this was pretty cool.  The most interesting was an actual piece of the USS Arizona, which technically has never been decommissioned.  Outside the building were various pieces of sculpture and some interesting rocks.
