The Superstition Mountain Museum’s holiday boutiques are returning in November and December.
The weekends of Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 30-Dec. 1 and Dec. 14-15 means big holiday shopping and savings opportunities for visitors to the museum. It also is a great opportunity to keep the family in the holiday spirit and enjoy all of the old-fashioned decorations that blanket the barn and museum, according to a release.
The Superstition Mountain Museum, 4087 E. Apache Trail in Apache Junction, annually hosts an Old-Fashioned Celebration featuring artists and crafters displaying and selling their unique handmade items. Tables will be placed amidst the decorations and on the museum patio and grounds. The museum is a nonprofit facility organized and run by the Superstition Mountain Historical Society.
The big trains will be running and a free ore stamp mill demonstration is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30.
Admission to the Holiday Barn Boutique, ore mill demonstration and parking are free.
In the museum gift shop you’ll find unique, investment-quality Native American hand-crafted pieces and silver jewelry made with amethyst from the Four Peaks Amethyst Mine in Arizona. As a nonprofit organization, the shop does not charge sales tax.
Bring a toy or dog and cat food for our Christmas drive benefiting Apache Junction Animal Control. A wish list of the most-needed items: dry cat or dog food; canned cat food; cat litter; dog and cat toys/treats; dog collars and leashes; dryer sheets; cleaning supplies; liquid dish soap; liquid laundry detergent; bleach; and Clorox wipes.
The museum is open 9 a.m.-4 p.m. seven days a week, closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Go to https://superstitionmountainmuseum.org or call 480-983-4888.
