Hall moved into the Governor’s Mansion and opened it as a museum.

The Bashford House was built in 1877. Fort Misery is the oldest log building associated with the Territory of Arizona. It was built on the banks of Granite Creek (two blocks south of the Museum) in 1863-64. Sharlot Hall had it disassembled in 1934 and reassembled on the Museum grounds. The Fremont House, built in 1875, served as the home of the fifth territorial governor of Arizona (1878-1881).
