Details
On this tour we stroll past the charming historic mansions of the El Presidio, also known as Snob Hollow, as chat about the fascinating stories of Tucson's Pioneer Founders and prominent citizens. We will see several works by architect Henry Trost. Next we stroll past a section of rebuilt adobe wall as we discuss Tucson's Spanish Colonial history as a walled Presidio. Guests will enjoy a visit to the historic Pima County Courthouse to hear the tales of John Dillinger, then walk past the bandstand to learn of a famous western outlaw who partied the night away in Tucson shortly before a historic gunfight. We conclude by strolling through west downtown to learn of the last remaining southwest art deco styled theatre and hear the tales of mid century entrepreneurs and downtown department store tycoons who gained national acclaim, plus the tales of a luxury historic hotel! Please visit our website to book this tour as we chat about all of this and so much more!
