Powell’s Arm Pin
Spring 1861, the Civil War broke out and young John Wesley Powell enlisted in the Union Army. One morning, while raising his arm to signal to his men to fire, a musket ball ripped through his right forearm. Two days later, the arm was then amputated from the elbow down. Powell would complain of nerve pain for the rest of his life.

Founded in 1969, the John Wesley Powell Memorial Museum, now known as the Powell Museum & Archives, holds over 100,000 objects in trust for the people of Page, as well as other areas of the Colorado Plateau. Our collections focus primarily on the natural and cultural history of northern Arizona and southern Utah. To keep our collections in line with the passions of John Wesley Powell, the museum has focused on acquiring items that fall under cartography, archaeology, geology, paleontology, anthropology, as well as a focus on the unique city of Page’s history with the Glen Canyon Dam.
