Clarkdale – Clarkdale Lodge Studios & Suites

Copper Art Museum

The Arizona Copper Art Museum tells a genuine story, one that marries Arizona’s greatest treasure with world legends and fantastic art by returning copper home to where it all began.

The Story of Copper
Starting in towns like Clarkdale, the copper leaves the area and then blossoms into an amazing story of the worlds’ most beautiful metal. It is told through a wonderful idea of combining history and stunning artifacts into truly enjoyable exhibits.

The Copper State
Join us and see a proper tribute to the Centennial of Arizona, and find out why Arizona is nicknamed the Copper State.

What’s Here
A massive and incomparable collection of over 5000 works of copper art and architecture of Western European and Northern American emphasis, spanning from 3500 B.C. to present day.

Amazing Galleries
Easily equivalent to most large city museum collections although purposely located in Clarkdale to connect with Arizona’s copper foundation.

Tuzigoot National Monument

Tuzigoot is also located in Clarkdale and can be found on the road to old town Cottonwood. From the Sinagua culture who built this pueblo centuries ago, to the out of work miners who helped excavate in the 1930’s, to the folks who still hold the site sacred today, Tuzigoot is about people.
