Details

Take a stroll down Main Avenue with Presidio Museum Tour Guide Alan Kruse to view the homes and hear the stories of the movers and shakers of early Tucson who lived in them, including:
** Hiram and Petra Stevens, who were a prominent merchant couple but whose domestic life was less than perfect
** Sam Hughes, who is called by some the “father of Tucson”
** Annie Cheyney, whose newly restored 1905 home is the talk of the town
** Albert Steinfeld of department store fame, whose son Harold was a top scorcher (race car driver)
** Frank Hereford, an attorney who represented the defendants in the Wham Robbery
** William Herring, who was at one time Wyatt Earp’s lawyer

*** This tour is 1/4-mile long and begins at Café a la C’art at 150 N. Main Ave. This is a good tour for people who want more information and less walking.

Pre-registration required. $20/Member & $30/Non-member.
