Discover more about Muheim Heritage House

Step back in time at the Muheim Heritage House, a meticulously preserved home museum in Bisbee, Arizona. Built between 1898 and 1915 by Joseph Muheim, a Swiss immigrant who made his mark in Bisbee's mining and business sectors, and his wife Carmelita, the house reflects the elegance of the late Victorian era. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Docent-led tours guide visitors through the restored interior, filled with period furnishings that offer a glimpse into the Muheim family's life and the broader history of Bisbee. From the gardens, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the historic homes dotting Brewery Gulch. Joseph Muheim's story is interwoven with Bisbee's development; he arrived in 1883 and initially brewed beer for local miners before investing in real estate and various businesses, including the Muheim Block on Brewery Gulch. The house itself was donated to the City of Bisbee in 1975 and opened as a museum in 1980, thanks to the Bisbee Council on the Arts & Humanities. Today, the Muheim Heritage House stands as a testament to Bisbee's vibrant past, offering visitors an engaging and educational experience.
