Pheonix Police Museum 2015

This is a small museum, but it is free, interesting, and in a central location with other things to see.

Information
Phoenix was incorporated as a city on February 25, 1881. Law enforcement was handled by Phoenix city marshals and later by Phoenix police officers. There is the story about how Miranda became law.

Pheonix Wells Fargo Museum 2015

We enjoyed this is a small museum, but free and interesting in a good tourist location in downtown Pheonix.
Information
Wells Fargo and Company’s Express provided financial services by the fastest means available:  Within a few years, business was transacted electronically by telegraph, which would later grow to include radio, telephone and the internet. From the first day of business, Wells Fargo came through for pioneer miners, merchants and ranchers in the West. And in a very short time, the company opened offices in mining camps, towns and cities—there were more than 10,000 Wells Fargo offices by 1918.

Phoenix waterfall 2015

This is a nice waterfall in a park in Phoenix, I would not recommend by itself but if you want a drive and something to do it is interesting.
