Heritage Square is a striking reminder of the city’s vibrant Victorian past. Located on Block 14 of the original townsite of Phoenix, the Square dates back to the late 1800s, and the restored Rosson House Museum is its crowning jewel.

The First Families of Arizona was founded in 1932 to preserve the heritage of Arizona's founding families. The organization's purpose is to preserve the historic relics, places and history of Arizona. The members of The First Families of Arizona remember the fortitude and stamina of the pioneer people who came to Arizona and whose character and ideas laid the foundation for the State. They seek to perpetuate the best of that heritage through our families and through the organization now and keep it alive for future generations. Membership is extended to individuals, their spouses and their direct descendants, whose pioneer ancestors arrived and established residence in territorial Arizona prior to Statehood Day, February 14, 1912.
The Maricopa County Justice Museum opened in 2012 and is centered around a restored cell block on the sixth floor of Maricopa County’s Historic old Courthouse – the Courthouse has been renovated to its 1929 grandeur. While visiting the museum, you will get a sense of Maricopa County’s legal history, its court cases and important elements of the Rule of Law, including individual rights and liberties guaranteed in the United States and Arizona constitutions. To our knowledge, it is the only such museum in an active courthouse in the country. The museum is located at 125 W. Wahington, Phoenix, AZ 85004.
