OMG! I have travelled all over the world and this is one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Brantley Baird is a piece of living history of the West. He and his family have a 5000 acre working ranch outside of Winslow and they will happily share the history of how their family helped settle the area and show you many amazing artifacts they've kept in their family from the 1800s and early 1900s. After sharing that amazing history they will take you out and show you some of the archaeological dig sites, and let you roam the area on your own and explore the canyons with the pottery, tools, and petroglyphs from the natives who inhabited the area 9000 years ago. I spent an entire day in the canyons exploring the artifacts the natives left behind and I likely missed half of them. Call ahead and make a reservation - they keep the groups small so they can personalize the tours. Take along comfortable hiking shoes, plenty of water, a good camera, good binoculars, and a cooler of munchies. There is an excellent picnic spot above the canyon that is a great rest stop before/after you climb into the canyon. The steps are steep - not good for people who are even partially immobile. I took hundreds of pictures down in the canyon and even swam in the pools of water to cool off. Please respect the area and resist the urge to pick up pottery shards or stone tools that you will surely see walking around. The place is a national heritage site and Brantley and his family have done a great job preserving and protecting it. When you make reservations, be sure to have them text you the simple driving instructions and map that will easily guide you to the ranch (about 40 minutes outside of Winslow). Don't rely on your GPS to find the place - you will likely not find it. (Online maps and directions from search engines such as Google or Bing are wrong.) Plan to spend the day, or even ask about staying overnight. The roads driving around the ranch itself are a bit rough, so make sure your car has good tires and clearance. There is so much to explore, you won't see it all in just a few hours. Above all, these are some of the nicest people you will ever meet! Enjoy!

Need to be in Winslow on the days the shop is open but stop by for well priced fabulous treasures if it is. The display of goods is small but there is plenty of variety and probably one of the local artists on hand to explain the finer points of what you want to buy.

The exhibits are wonderfully put together and informative. The museum is free, runs on donations. There are a treasure trove of artifacts of the history of Winslow, including the Harvey Girls and the "standing' on the corner" across the road. The owner is knowledgable and is more than willing to talk with you about anything you want to know. Lots of love and pride went into this place and you can see the care.

Don’t pay attention to any negative reviews. This Visitor Center is very nice and there is a nice short movie and several hallways with nice displays and history of meteor facts from around the globe and our vast universe. Yes..it is a giant crater in the ground...it is an amazing thing to see when you put humanity and the universe in perspective. We were not able to walk the rim during our visit due to 60-80mph winds, but the outdoor observation area was good enough and proof that we didn’t want to risk being blown off the rim on our visit.
