Historic Wickenburg Arizona Downtown Museum

[@mbentley4293]

The statue in front of the Desert Caballeros Museum is of my grandpa and his quarter horse. Grandpa was a real cowboy and had a cattle ranch in Camp Verde, AZ. He lived into his nineties and, although being blind and deaf in is old age, he could still saddle and ride his horse

[@williamterry9819]

The good people of Wickenburg have done a fantastic job of presenting their city to the world, including the downtown areas and the museum! This should be an ‘All-American City’ (award) if not awarded already. Great leadership and civic pride. KUDOS!

[@lloydbaker6988]

Hey Hey it's Russ, Thanks so much for taking us all along today my friend. WICKENBURG TO COOL FOR SCHOOL 👍

[@susanboatman7913]

Cool Museum Russ. I especially like the Holograph at the General Store. You can tell that the community has put a ton of money into the Museum.

[@johnbell9491]

This has been my favorite town thus far. Spent a few weeks here thus past winter. People are very friendly and it is clean as a whistle! Love ut!

[@coloradonative4997]

Russ you hold the record for quickest museum museum tours

[@juliojames5986]

I rode my horse into one of the bars, had to escape up the old dry river bed and off into the mountains. all fun back then , I think in the 1970’s We got away, again. I will tour that town soon. Some people deserve a lot of credit for keeping the museum and learning center up to see. thanks Rus

[@ExploringCanadaInfo]

Wickenburg! Cool!

[@laobaixing2012]

Russ I must say I enjoy my arm chair travels with you. Its interesting as "we" travel through these small towns and I recognize a building or place I visited years gone by as I did in Wickenburg . Safe travels!

[@rickcrippen5180]

Same thing here, Russ. Drove through many times. Wanted to stop, but always somewhere else to get to. So, thanks for the excursion!

Wickenburg looks like a nice place to live. Interesting 3-D projected store clerk. In addition, interesting brands on the street signs. All in all “Too cool for School!”

[@keithm7087]

Every time I watch your videos I wish my folks had of kept their property in Havasu,. Arizona is the first place I ever stepped off a plane and felt, yep I could live here no problem.

[@henrywardell4635]

We Love RVerTV - BEST TV ON KZbin. Russ Too Cool 4 School.

[@1hasbeen531]

Lots more to see here in Wickenburg, Russ, and tons of trails for Dusty Nugget.

[@lasmith319]

Wickenburg is a nice, clean town & your video captured it well. You missed "The Jail tree" across from Nana's & behind Circle K. Unique treatment of the "wayward"😉 Thank you for sharing. Miss it already having spent the Christmas holiday there on empty streets. Enjoy your channel!

[@lynnleavitt478]

Because of your comment, I searched "The Jail Tree" on KZbin and watched a very interesting (and entertaining) video with the history. Thank you!

[@tedebear108]

Good day to you sir. This is Ted from San Antonio Texas. I hope you make it through this make it would someday. Thank you for showing me around on your adventures. I definitely loved Oatman one's the best

[@diannamartin489]

So nice, enjoyed the museum video. Thanks Russ...

[@lucyfoster8624]

Russ. Grand tour! Great museum! I just love the western history. Thanks for taking me along & sharing. Very interesting, informative & fun.

[@yragtgov]

Been there did the museum which is cool. Went across street from the horse and cowboy statue and had ice cream. Was a good stop. Statue said thank you for the rain... Believe the cowboy was praying.

[@colinwalters1768]

Hi Russ, great start to the road trip. Really enjoyed the video. Can't wait for the small town that's next.Stay safe.

[@smokingfoxx]

Hey Russ! Glad you’re hitting the road and moving along! I’d be lost without your content! 👍🏻🤠

[@eutimiochavez415]

Looks like a pretty town ,nice and clean .

[@mommam.6101]

My husband and I stumbled on Wickenburg accidentally and absolutely loved it. We came back one more time and I came back one more time after he died. The first time we came was after 9/11 and we were driving at night from Parker to Wickenburg. We saw some lights in the distance and rolled down our windows and heard some murmuring and muffled sounds, actually kind of spooky. We stopped and realized that people were running across America with a flag to complete the flight of the plane that was heading from New York to California. I think it's the one that crashed because the people took control. I got goosebumps and chills all over. It was silent except for the slapping of the feet on the asphalt. I still get chills and tears to this day.

[@daveholte7658]

Well done Did the same route last week. Stayed in Agulla and Salome. Great folks and conversation sun and warmth. Wickenburg was great Carefree Camper just started their new van builds in Wickenburg Blackhawk and Madi and 2 Corgi dogs Great young couple. Jail Tree was great in Wickenburg Roping horse capital of the US?

[@cyn4rest]

Great roadtrip. Thanks for the ride-a-long, Russ. Love the scenery. I might need to move to Arizona!

[@davec9244]

OLD town's hard to find! I have been to the Elks Hall check it out! A crossed the street from the train. They have a very old Bar with some history too! thank you Russ ALL stay safe

[@judypeeklueer5484]

Since the beginning of quarantine, I have watched hundreds of KZbin vlogs, and I enjoy yours so much! We do a lot of road-tripping, and are finally getting our first camper next month! Maybe we’ll see you ‘on the road’!

[@stargazer2533]

Wow! That was very interesting! Thank you!

[@TheFoxyb]

Back on the road, yay! Thanks for taking us along Russ, Wickenburg looks really cool. Waved to you and the horse!

[@Greg_Jones]

I enjoy your tours of little Western towns. The best thing about high diesel prices is you're less likely to stray past the Mississippi!

[@rvertv]

Very true!

[@SherryAustinMcginley]

Wickenburg was a great stop! They’ve done an excellent job on their museum! 👍

[@sooner_born2256]

Charming little town, thanks!

[@desertrose9499]

Thanks for taking us with you to Wickenberg! Last time we just drove through without stopping. Very cool Russ😎👍Looking forward to ALL your AZ adventures!!!

[@yvonnemiranda2918]

Safe travels Russ 😊 nice town I would love to visit one day .....😋

[@earllutz2663]

Great video as usual. You mentioned the ( not so good lighting), but it wasn't too bad. Thanks for the tour.

[@skyebird3933]

What a very nice museum. Thanks for the tour, Russ.

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! "FOLLOW THE SUN"!!! To the "SMALL TOWNS" Of Arizona"!!!

[@ElwoodAndersonNV]

Thanks, Russ. I love your small town tours. I'm looking forward to the rest of your spring trip.

[@michaelsonleitner5724]

Great tour! Thanks Russ!

[@SPak-rt2gb]

Thanks for the trip Russ the last time I saw Wickenburg I was a very young lad from what I remember you had to drive thru there to get to Phoenix it was a lot smaller than what it is now...holy smokes

[@rickcrippen5180]

So was Phoenix!

[@SPak-rt2gb]

@@rickcrippen5180 Yes it was, I was born there 1957 then my parents moved to California two years later we still went back to see my cousin's every year

[@gregprince2523]

Yes those are local ranch brands Russ... Can you imagine riding a horse back in the 1880's and how far it was and long it took to go between the old small towns we just drive by nowadays!! Took hard, tough folks to survive back then!

[@airhornistheone4915]

How do Russ, Wife and I enjoy riding along! Some of my old haunts from the 70s were GaintRock in LandersCa. and PioneerTown CA. I'm sure it is not the same but it was Too Kwel For School

[@cliveashley9364]

Nice 👍 town beautiful ♥️ drive adventure enjoying fr jamaica 🇯🇲🌞🏖️

[@PaulCocuzza]

Great stuff Russ. Getting closer to my neck of the woods off Carefree Hwy! Cheers!!

[@thomascraig2732]

There is a lot more to see in Wickenburg. You just did a teaser. Hope you get up to Yarnell. I am along for the ride.

[@vroddestroyer300]

Thanks Russ... Needed this today!

[@carolynw3602]

I was thinking about checking out Wickenburg, thanks for the interesting video!

[@geraldmerkel7145]

Yo Russ, 6:42 AM Monday 21st in Beautiful Mid Michigan 31° 🥶 Just watching this video warmed me to the bone. I share your videos with family members telling them that I'm in Arizona I will be home shortly. I'm ready to move to Wickenburg

[@richardkint6531]

Love that museum in Wickenburg. I wonder if that horse poking his head out from the trailer watches Russ on RVerTV! Looking forward to more of your backroads, small town road trip in AZ!

[@rickcrippen5180]

I think that horse wanted Russ’s autograph.

[@alanamarias2950]

It's grown alot in the last 50 yrs use to drive through here in the 70s

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! Wickenburg is a nice little town. Greeted by a welcoming murial. Town Hall was unique. Interesting courtyard with a neatly planted no fuss type of garden. I really thought you were walking into a hug, but it was a mannequin. hehe I liked that clock on the corner. Enjoyed seeing the museums. The 3D hologram was really neat! 👍

[@joanfrazier2971]

That is a good museum!!!

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Great video Russ! Love Wickenburg! It is a cool little town. I go over there every year in the Fall.

[@sandratessem9980]

Safe travels

[@juliojames5986]

Russ, there is a lot more in that town. I think you missed the real old part of town…..however The museum tour was great, next time I am there, going to a-lot 2-3 hours to go through it…..did not know about it…..Thanks again 👍🏻

[@dalekundtz760]

Hey Russ! Thanks for the great tour of Wickenburg. The museum was great even though you were concerned about the lighting. It seemed like spring up here in Bloomington, IL, as the temp here was 72 degrees. Unusual for this time of year, but I'm not complaining. Enjoy your travels my friend! Another town checked off your bucket list.

[@wanda.kwirth6912]

My mother was born their. Alot of my family is buried in a cemetary there. We use to spend Easters there. my mother went to one room school house there.

[@davidzamora4423]

Russ thank you for sharing your video with us. It takes my mind with your travels. I have question for you? Have you ever been to El Ray Arizona?

[@johnmiller4553]

YAY !!!!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@bubblesmckenzie4125]

They must have one heck of a water bill.

[@jerrytwolanes4659]

Another great video Russ! At 10:20 I never saw lamp posts that poked up through the awning/roof of the Old Livery Mercantile building. The street lamps illuminate the roof? :)

[@gargar8196]

Way to keep going 👍

[@sandua51]

The museum is amazing for a small town. Looks like Smithsonian level! By the way it was snowing and blowing in Flagstaff Sunday.

[@ralphcolerick4939]

thumbs up RUSS ENJOY THE DRIVE and leave only footprints

[@snotnosewilly99]

At 14:20 what appears to be a stagecoach. Just outside of Wickenburg a stagecoach like that was attacked by Indians. Inside the stagecoach was the grandfather of future 1964 Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. The people in the stagecoach fought off the attackers, but I believe a couple died. The rest walked into town.

[@ronaldclark2624]

Very nice video, thank you! Ron PTL USA

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

I kept thinking of Joe DiMaggio for some reason. Ah well..baffled from too much fresh air and sunshine.

[@makedamnsure1993]

i wish I'm the camera man . nice content as always. keep safe

[@Go4Corvette]

Great tour, Russ. I like the small towns, and that train built back when we built things here with US steel, used our hands, and skilled workers. Sad how so much of these skills have been lost along with our factories over the years. Take care, Mike PS, Russ have you been to Bonanza Oregon? don't see it in your video list.

[@lucyfoster8624]

Russ. Thank for sharing the trip, tour & the 3D old time store keeper. What fun! Very interesting & informative. Happy Trails!

[@timpage8996]

Always stopped for gas in Wickenburg but never stopped to spend much time in that cowboy town!!!

[@MrBluefreako]

I couldn't just walk by that bakery and not stop in and get a doughnut or pastry. Nice little quaint town.

[@gregprince2523]

Russ they're turning that rt 60 into interstate 11 I believe up closer to Vegas.... sure have come along ways since I started that vegas to Phoenix turn around back in the 80's..... boom n bust boom n bust!! Kingman keeps on hanhin on tho! it's either 11 or 7 number they used
