On Tuesday, March 21, 2023, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Archaeology and History of Canoa Ranch” presentation and tours at Historic Canoa Ranch, 5375 S. I-19 Frontage Road, Green Valley (accessible from I-19 Canoa Road Exit 56). This will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, with a $35 donation request ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members), which helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.
This event begins with a PowerPoint presentation by Old Pueblo’s director Allen Dart titled “Before There Was a Canoa” about Canoa-area archaeology and history. The presentation is followed by three 1-hour tours to be provided by Pima County Natural Resources, Parks & Recreation volunteers: 1) “Anza Tour at Historic Canoa Ranch,” 2) “Tour of Historic Canoa Ranch,” and 3) “The Gardens of Canoa.” The presentation and each tour will be limited to 24 registrants and will not be open to other Canoa Ranch visitors. Participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch to enjoy after the program at Canoa Ranch’s Mesquite Grove, or to have lunch in one of the many nearby Green Valley restaurants.
Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Friday March 17, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.
