More about Presidio San AgustĂ­n del Tucson Museum
At this re-creation of a Spanish fort built in 1775, experience a 150-year-old classic Sonoran Row house to see how houses were built before the railroad brought in the new building materials of that age. See archaeological remains of a pit house in the ground, and learn about the lives of early Native Americans. Our docents will take you on a tour of the Presidio Museum where you’ll discover how Tucson residents lived before air conditioning and cell phones. Kids of all ages can try out Presidio-era kids games in the box on the Territorial Patio and try on the cuera, the Presidio soldier’s version of chainmail, in the soldiers’ quarters. During our many Living History events, visitors enjoy demonstrations of blacksmithing, food preparation, and also see historical re-enactments, and soldier drills. We offer Tucson’s original historical walking tours. Our guides share their love of Tucson, keeping you entertained with interesting stories and facts. Visitors also see gorgeous murals or mansions, or learn about different historic neighborhoods on our walking tours. For wine lovers, there are also tours that include wine tasting.
