T he Buckeye Valley Museum has been a landmark since 1930. Founder I.H. Parkman’s dream became a reality when the former Buckeye Town Hall was moved to its current site, 116 E. Maricopa County Road 85, and Mayor Jack Gable unlocked the doors in March 1953. What began as a one-room collection in the former government building with small living quarters for caretakers has evolved into a full-fledged museum dedicated to the history of Buckeye. Buckeye Valley Historical Society and the Buckeye community worked to expand and remodel the building to what it is today. The newest improvement was a façade renovation in 2022. The new façade adds dimension to the building with Old Western-style accents and gives visitors an idea of what they’re about to walk into. Inside the museum sit several displays showing the historical eras of Buckeye, as well as an ever-expanding collection of hundreds of photos and local artifacts.
