The Arizona Capitol Museum preserves the former home of Arizona's Territorial government, which operated until Arizona became part of the United States in 1912. Today, it is operated as a museum facility showcasing exhibits on the evolution of the region from territory to state, primarily housed within the building's 1901 portion, which formerly served as the home of all three branches of the territory's government. More than 20 exhibits showcase historical and contemporary artifacts from state-owned collections, including artifacts related to the sinking of the USS Arizona, a pivotal event in the state's declaration of statehood. Visitors can also explore the building's historic House Chamber or learn about changes to the Arizona Constitution throughout its 100 years of statehood.
