An old elementary school is the perfect location for the Gilbert Historical Museum. Listed on the National Registry for Historical Buildings, you can view the artifacts from the past and tour an old Gilbert landmark. An old covered wagon and military relics are just a few of the exhibits there.

If you like surprises, Birchett Park in Tempe is for you. This park very small, and includes a few benches, some grass and a number of trees. Many people pass by it every day without realizing it's there. Yet to stop and gather one's thoughts or have a bit of conversation before a show, this hidden gem of a park is fabulous.
