Rim Country Museum

The Rim Country Museum is nestled among the green rolling hills and three lakes of the award winning Green Valley Park, which was developed around these historic structures.

The Rim Country Museum complex consists of the Oldest Forest Ranger Station and Residence still standing in the Southwest. Both structures were originally built in 1907 and then later re-built upon their original foundations around 1933.

The exhibit hall is a replica of the two-story 'Herron Hotel' known as the 'Hilton of Payson' in the early 1900's.

Additionally we have an approximately 1900 Haught cabin that was painstakingly moved to our grounds and were gifted the top of the Forest Service watchtower from Mt. Ord.

Outlined below is a short list of displays and information that you will find in the Rim Country Museum. We invite you to take a few hours and enjoy a guided tour about the people who called Rim Country their home.
