Quartzsite Museum, also known as Tyson's Well Stage Station Museum, is the town's best short introduction to its pre-RV history. The displays cover mining, stage travel, pioneer life, and the practical business of surviving in a hot, dry place.
It is modest, but that suits Quartzsite. Pair it with Hi Jolly Monument and the town's winter markets, and the desert settlement starts to make more sense than it does from the freeway.
