We see a historic Sonoran Row House & learn how these mud adobe structures were built for our desert climate. We stroll past charming historic mansions, three by the famous architect Henry Trost, learning the fascinating tales of our Pioneer Founders…one storey is a real hoot!

We visit the historic Pima County Courthouse to learn of the Dillinger Gangs capture in Tucson in 1934. Learn of a famous gunfighter & the fascinating storey of Tucson’s first cathedral!

We stroll past a historic theatre, see a stunning former department store, see Tucson's first skyscaper, and learn of a former luxury hotel, as we hear of Tucson's mid century shopping scene that gains national acclaim!
