The museum has nine galleries that cover family life of the 11th to 14th Centuries, mineral/ore collecting of ancient peoples, the history of the Yavapai-Apache Nation, prehistoric ceramic production, and the migrations of the Hisatsinom (ancestral Hopi). There are currently two special exhibits.
Space Rocks! is an exhibit of meteorites on loan from Arizona State University's Center for Meteor Studies. These meteorites were all part of the Canyon Diablo meteorite that created Meteor Crater, however, they were found in or near Sinagua ruins in the Verde Valley area.
A second limited exhibit is a retrospective of the art of Paul Dyck. The exhibit features works on loan from the Scottsdale Museum of the West, the Tucson Museum of Art, and private collections. Paul Dyck (1917-2006) was a local painter who grew up among many Plains Indian communities which became the subject of much of his work..
