Heritage and Science Park

Heritage Square sits on the last remaining residential block of the original site of the town of Phoenix. It tells the story of how Phoenix residents lived before Arizona became a state. It is also home to restaurants and a museum shop.{{Cite web |title=Heritage Square at Heritage And Science Park |url=https://phoenix.org/heritage-square-at-heritage-and-science-park/ |access-date=2022-01-20 |website=phoenix.org}}

Preservation efforts for Heritage Square began in the 1970s when then Mayor John D. Driggs stepped in to preserve the Rosson House. Architect Robert Frankeberger designed the park, which was designated "Historic Heritage Park". In 1976, preservation and restoration of the historic homes and the addition of the Lath House began, and the park opened in 1980.{{Cite book |last1=Towne |first1=Douglas C. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kkQdAgAAQBAJ&q=%2522Heritage+and+Science+Park%2522+Phoenix |title=Historic Heritage Square |last2=Reiner |first2=Donna J. |last3=Jacquemart |first3=John |date=2013 |publisher=Arcadia Publishing |isbn=978-1-4671-3075-2 |pages=65, 103 |language=en}}

The majority of Heritage Square was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 under the name "Phoenix Townsite".

In 1996-97 the Arizona Science Center and the Phoenix Museum of History moved next to the site of Heritage Square from their prior locations, and the expanded campus was given the name "Heritage and Science Park". The Arizona Doll & Toy Museum was also formerly located in the Stevens-Haustgen House. All locations are connected via East 6th Street and East Adams Street, which act as a pedestrian walkway that runs between East Monroe and North 7th Streets.{{Cite book |last=Bitler |first=Teresa |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zm22PjnCZyEC&dq=%2522Heritage+and+Science+Park%2522+Phoenix&pg=PA121 |title=Great Escapes: Arizona |date=2008-05-17 |publisher=The Countryman Press |isbn=978-1-58157-959-8 |pages=121 |language=en}}{{Cite book |last1=Fodor's |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7ZGmmZMEeTQC&dq=%2522Heritage+and+Science+Park%2522+Phoenix&pg=PA190 |title=Arizona |last2=Jarolim |first2=Edie |last3=Cheek |first3=Lawrence W. |date=2004 |publisher=Fodor's Travel Publications |isbn=978-1-4000-1265-7 |pages=190 |language=en}}
