Superstition Mountain Museum

Perhaps nowhere in the entire United States is there an area as full of legend, history and intrigue as the rugged 160,000-acre Superstition Mountain range in Central Arizona. Located 3 1/2 miles NE of Apache Junction on Hwy 88, the Apache Trail.

The Superstition Mountain Museum collects, preserves and displays the artifacts, history and folklore of the Superstition Mountains and the surrounding region.

As modern times approached, men and women began searching for what they believed was the richest gold mine in the world. This mine was made famous by Jacob Waltz, known as "the Dutchman", who took the secret of "his mine" to the grave in 1891. Even today, treasure hunters scour the mountains searching for the Lost Dutchman Mine.

The Superstition Mountain is also known as the Lost Dutchman Museum. The museum has a variety of exhibits and is open 364 days a year.
