Powell Museum

The John Wesley Powell Memorial Museum and Visitor Information Center is the one-stop source for information of interest to people visiting Page, Arizona and the surrounding area. The Visitor Information Center can direct you to lodging, including Bed and Breakfast hosts, eating establishments, tour operators, local service providers and merchants.

Page is at the "hub" of the Grand Circle and thus is the perfect jumping off point for visiting Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Grand Canyon north and south rims, Lake Powell, Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, the Petrified Forest, Zion and more. Page is also the jumping off point for most Colorado River raft trips.

We invite you to use our services and encourage you to support the businesses that support the museum and make the Visitor Information Center possible. The Visitor Information Center can make many reservations for you and will receive a donation from the respective concessionaire in return. This service costs you nothing; the lodging and tours for which the Visitor Information Center acts as a reservation agent cost you no more than if you'd made the reservations directly with the concessionaire. The difference is that by using our services, you support the work of the John Wesley Powell Memorial Museum as well as the Visitor Information Center.

Mission:

Our mission is to collect, preserve, and interpret the history of John Wesley Powell, the City of Page, and the Colorado Plateau.
