Empire Ranch Foundation
Historical place
👍👍 This place was awesome! Just happened to see a sign for this place while driving down Sonoita Hwy from Parker Canyon Lake. Decided to make an impromptu stop to check it out and were so glad we did! Very cool place both inside the house and the property as a whole. Our kids range from 5-11yo and all...

Johnny Ringo Grave
Historical place
👍 Tombstone (the movie) and actual history to see where Wyatt (or Doc Holiday) killed Johnny Ringo. Just interesting. It is out in the middle of no where and is actually on private property. There is a fenced path for visitors to be able to walk to see where Ringo died. No price to visit site. T...

Steam Pump Ranch image

Steam Pump Ranch
Historical place
👍👍 This is a fantastic spot to visit, may it be for the farmer's market on a Saturday morning, or to see local history at the Pusch family ranch house. The little museum has a small self-guided exhibit, which changes every month, maintained by the Oro Valley Historical Society. Lots of picnic benches a...

Fort Bowie National Historic Site image

Fort Bowie National Historic Site
Historical place
👍👍 When you arrive at the trailhead, you will walk an easy 1.5 mile hike to the fort's ruins. Even though it's an easy hike you may still get a little winded as you're hiking at 5000 ft. elevation. That being said, Fort Bowie is actually a complex of building ruins that populate the site. Additionally...

Strawberry School House - One Room image

Strawberry School House - One Room
Historical place
👍 We discovered this one-room schoolhouse in Strawberry along Fossil Creek, quite by accident. It was fun to imagine how school might have been back then. The Historical Society owns the property and inside tours are available by request. We just viewed what we could see through the windows. The parki...

Governor Hunt Tomb image

Governor Hunt Tomb
Historical place
👍 Super unique attraction to hike to. Not the most scenic or secluded but it works just fine to get out and stretch the legs. Would suggest reading all of the fun facts about this monument, super unique. Good way to also get away from the crowd at the hole in the rock

McFarland State Historic Park image

McFarland State Historic Park
Historical place
👍👍 Nice little museum. The lady was very sweet and helped my seven year old become a Jr Park ranger, which he loved. Kids 18 and under are free and adults are only $5. Lots of cute locally made items in the gift shop. I kind of wish they had more hands on experiences for kids and that they would do a g...

👍👍 We had so much fun! We went on a Monday, and it was unlocked. It's super cool to go inside. Kinda spooky...

Hayden Flour Mill image

Hayden Flour Mill
Historical place
😐 I don't want to give these guys a bad rating because they are local, and honestly I do like the look of their mill even though it's gotten a bit old and run down as of late. But I can't give them a very high score simply due to their terrible customer service. I ordered some flour over a month ago a...

Desert Wells Stage Stop image

Desert Wells Stage Stop
Historical landmark
😐 I actually really like this little spot. It's accessible from both the road and the nearby wash trail. Unless you're planning a picnic or want to read a book, don't plan on staying and being entertained. There isn't much to do and you can't get very close to the well. However, it is a very neat piec...
