4. Soak in the local culture

Cave Creek Museum provides a living history of the area, including the town’s first church (a tiny 1940s clapboard build- ing that’s still used for weddings) and the 1920s cabins that were occupied by tubercular patients coming West for the cure―all the original furnishings remain. $3; 6140 E.
