Mesa Historical Museum - Mesa, AZ - a museum dedication to preserving the history of Mesa, Arizona

The Lehi School buildings house Mesa Arizona's Mesa Historical Museum which can be found on the National Register of Historic Places. The land was donated during the 1880's by the Rogers family and originally had a one room school house on it. The school house was torn down and a new building put up during 1914.

After several changes the school district gave up on the improvements and abandoned the school during 1976. The site was purchased by the City of Mesa and later sold to the Mesa Historical Museum after it was discovered it was too costly to tear the building down. The museum which is dedicated to preserving Mesa's history first opened to the public during 1987.

Originally the auditorium and main building housed the exhibits but the changing needs and legislation led the auditorium to be used for storage and other purposes. The Mesa Historical Museum also offers a number of educational programs and field trip opportunities.

The Mesa Historical Museum offers rentals of the Farnsworth room and Auditorium. There is enough room to seat four hundred in the auditorium. While food is allowed those renting the facilities have to provide their own catering. The museum requires a security deposit for rentals and additional fees for security and staffing may apply for rentals.
