We went to the Wallace and Ladmo remembered presentation. It was fabulous. Please support this museum. It runs solely on contributions and is so worth keeping the doors open.

We all drive by this place on the Southwest corner of Gilbert Rd and Elliot and we all say to ourselves “we should stop by someday”. Well, the day finally came for me and my family and it was well worth it. There is so much to learn about the town’s history in this museum.

I went to a presentation at night which was excellent, but did not see much of the museum. What I did see was old farm equipment outside.

Interesting, lots of good photos, train room was locked so we couldnt see that area.

I really love this place! I am new to AZ and I love the East Valley but I had no idea how amazing Gilbert is! So many displays and information, it was hard to see it all! I had such a good time! I highly recommend some spending some time here!

Great little museum to learn about Gilberts history! Very friendly staff and interesting information. It is a very small museum, but as long as you go expecting a small museum experience it should be great. We bought some prickly pear candy from the gift shop and it was surprisingly delicious. Fun fact was how much Gilbert has grown just since the 1980s. That blew my mind!

Affordable & interesting! Definitely would recommend the model train exhibit downstairs!

What a cute museum! The price is right and youll spend a couple hours reading about and looking at historical aspects of the town of Gilbert. From schools, to business, to farming, this museum gives a great and comprehensive overview of the evolution of the town. The building itself used to be a school and many aspects of the building are still the originals. If you havent been, its worth checking out.

Love this place. Very interesting history

Love this museum! I remember going as a kid for a field trip. I think its interesting seeing the history of our town!

Whenever I visit some city for the first time, I usually try to stop at its historical museum. It always says a lot about the city and its people.Gilbert Historical Museum is located further South on Gilbert Rd, it has several exhibits outside, in the foyer (check out that car!), and of course many artifacts from those times when Gilbert used to be the Hay Shipping Capital of the World (that was actually only a hundred years ago). Exhibits are totally amazing, and they are very-well presented - anything from old-time farming equipment and household pottery to the latest fashion (of the 1920s) dresses and even a wedding dress!The volunteer on duty (I think this ladys name is Susan Huff) was so hospitable and friendly and was happy to answer my questions and show me around, that I decided to make a modest donation to the museum, and also bought a T-shirt at their tiny souvenir shop.The T-shirt is very particular: it has a huge drawing of the water tower , and underneath it just says Gilbert. It doesnt specify what state it is. Just Gilbert. Isnt that cool though?Outside the museum I could see the historic original at a distance - that famous Town of Gilbert Water Tower in Gilbert, Arizona.

I enjoyed learning about my adopted home state

A great place to take your family to remember our past.

The museum is a great place for the family to explore Gilberts rich history! The historic memorabilia is fascinating to explore. Also their rooms and facilities for rent are accommodating and affordable! Definitely visit if youre curious about southwestern culture!

Loaded with local historical information as well as other exhibits. They are really doing a lot to make this venue more than just a neighborhood museum. Staff is very knowledgeable and can answer just about every question you come up with.

Nice little museum. Lots of space but not much in the way of displays. I would think for a town like Gilbert theyd have a lot more in the way of artifacts and displays. Interesting story boards, but those could be made smaller to make lots more room for actual items, antiquities and displays. Cmon native Gilbert families, go dig in the attics and barns and donate to that place! It looks a bit barren for a local museum.

The history will help you understand a lot about Arizona

The museum is small, but carries a big legacy. While many of the exhibits are general U.S. history several prominent families that helped found and develop Gilbert are detailed. If you are familiar with the area you will recognize several names. It will not take much time to see all the exhibits so a visit to The Gilbert Historical Museum is a great start or end to a tour of Downtown Gilbert. Go see the Water Tower Park, have brunch at one of the amazing eateries and learn about small town America.

Enjoyed not only by long-time residents of Gilbert, but those from out of state and even those visiting from other countries.

Pieces of Gilbert history intertwined with some unique artifacts of past times! The price is a bargain at $5 adults, $4 Seniors, $3 kids 12 & under! A great way to spend an afternoon! Renovations currently happening.

This private gallery is free and open to the public. It has a phenomenal collection of over 3000 items of classic western art (oils, bronzes, kachinas, baskets, guns), many illustrative of historical events. A quick walk through will take at least two hours, so plan on returning. There are chairs and sofas that allow a bit if a rest.

Neat, small museum showing the growth of Gilbert. Great stop while walking or touring downtown Gilbert. Takes about an hour to see everything.

The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable of the museum. take your time to explore the wonders of every room as it tells you about the town of Gilbert and all the amazing pioneers that transformed Gilbert into the best town to live in

Very impressive museum and very well done. Definitely recommend seeing the movie and it enhances the experience. Museum is divided between European and Pacific battles, tells very personal stories.

Loved this little museum! I learned so much about the history of Gilbert (which is more extensive than I expected). The guides are super friendly, and everything is laid out very nicely.

Amazing place. Lots to learn here. Make sure you check out the miniature trains when you come.

Neil Millers exhibit on Dirty Dozen Motorcycle Club was fantastic

Amazing history.

Such a cool local museum! Tons of exhibits and is perfect for kids and adults alike!

Tells the story of a small town growing up, great history here!
