Take a look into Yuma’s past with a visit to the Yuma Historical Society Museum. Only open on the weekend, the museum is located at Yuma Lake and offers visitors the chance to see a historic schoolhouse, farming artifacts, and a railroad caboose outside of the museum.

To understand a bit more about the agriculture industry in Yuma, visit the Yuma Irrigation Research Farm. Chosen as the Federal Agriculture Experiment Station Site, Yuma is home to the latest government-tested methods of soil conservation.
