1. Hi Jolly's Tomb
Overall Ratings
4 based on 62 reviews
Reviewed By Thomas M - Littleton, New Hampshire
We found Hi Jolly’s tomb, and the story behind it, really interesting. We had heard & read about the US Calvary’s interest in the use of camels in the desert, but Jefferson Davis’ involvement was a part of history we were unaware of until visiting this site. In addition there are other little quirks in the story which we found interesting. You can learn more if you also visit the museum in town. This site is not far and if you are going to spend anytime in Quartzsite it is really worth your time to visit this site - even if it’s just for the photo-op.

Reviewed By Carol S - Los Altos, California
I've been several times and each time I see and learn something new. This trip we brought two young adults 22-23 years old and they had a wonderful time exploring. We bought petrified wood, fossils, sea shells, and a rock with water trapped inside from 25 million years ago (per wiki).
Tip: If you have a business bring your business license and get items wholesale (50% off in ma y cases), or just haggle and you may still get items 50% off.
3. Quartzsite Museum

Reviewed By Diane M - Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania
We loved our visit to this museum! It might be little but it is an authentic Quartzsite experience! The building is an original and there are a lot of artifacts and pictures, covering a wide variety of local interest. The outside things are interesting in their own right! The museum docents were very informative, both for the museum nd the rest of the area.
4. Reader's Oasis Bookstore

Reviewed By Thomas M - Littleton, New Hampshire
This bookstore is a strange & interesting place. We are always interested in visiting offbeat sites, and this place certainly qualifies! There were a couple of local Author’s outside selling their books. We found Stu Campbell, a local cowboy, really interesting to talk to and ended up purchasing one of his novels for our grandson. We went inside and browsed a bit.... it is an eclectic mix of just about everything, paperbacks, hardbacks, magazines. CDs, etc. If you don’t have a specific item your looking for, the clutter can seem overwhelming. We didn’t get to meet Paul, the eccentric, nudist, owner. Not sure whether that’s good news or bad news! He is obviously a legend, and there were poster of him scattered about the store. In mid-December we were ahead of the RV invasion, so visiting sites in Quartzsite was easy and this is certainly one of the main attractions.
5. The Grubstake

4.5 based on 4 reviews
Reviewed By cjbh - Salt Lake City, Utah
Dollar bills are stuck all over the ceiling, with license plates up there too. Some chairs have wooden frames & sagging springs. 4 TVs play separate sports & car shows. Outside, a lone guitarist plays or you karaoke all alone. With warmer weather, this would be lots of fun. (We came in January; daytime temps in the 60s, but after dark in the 50s.)
Menu is very slim, but the fish is great, with 2 big pieces.
6. Joanne's Gum Gallery

Wasn't sure what to expect. Called to ensure someone would be there. Joanne the owner meet us there. Joanne was very friendly and informative about her collection. After telling us about how she started and how the collection grew she left us to explore on our own coming back once in awhile to check on us and answer any questions we had. Over 4000 types of gum from the earliest she had at 1914 to present. Highly recommend seeing this museum.
