    Tempe Historical Museum

    The Tempe Historical Museum was founded by the Tempe Historical Society, which opened a 4,800-square foot exhibit hall in the east wing of the Tempe Public Library building in 1972. In 1984, the Museum became a division of the City of Tempe's Community Services Department. In the following year, a bond issue was approved, and work began on converting the entire 36,000-square foot library building into a new museum. The new Tempe Historical Museum, with an 8,000-square foot exhibit gallery, opened to the public on June 15, 1991. The Museum also operates the Petersen House Museum, a restored Queen Anne Victorian house that is used to interpret daily life in Tempe around the turn of the century.
