The Art Village of Tubac, Arizona

Just 15 minutes from Amado, the charming art village of Tubac, with a population of just over 1000, is off Interstate 10, and is only 23 miles north of Mexico. It is believed that Tubac was first inhabited over 11,000 years ago by elephant hunters seeking the prehistoric Mammoth. In 1958, the Tubac Presidio Historic Park was built equipped with its own museum that traces Tubac’s pre-historic history to the present day. It has become a popular art and golf destination and offers unique shopping opportunities.

Tubac Presidio State Historic Park: Established in 1958 as Arizona's very first state park, this historic park is Tubac's link in Juan Bautista de Anza's historic march to San Francisco. The park features the Old School House and Otero Community Hall which is on the National Register of Historic Places; a museum; and underground archaeology display; and the Anza Trailhead.

Tumacácori National Historical Park: Located a few miles south of Tubac, Tumacácori National Historic Park protects three Spanish colonial mission ruins in southern Arizona: Tumacácori, Guevavi, and Calabazas. The adobe structures are on three sites, with a visitor center at Tumacácori. These missions are among more than twenty established in the Pimería Alta by Father Kino and other Jesuits, and later expanded upon by Franciscan missionaries. One of the most popular time to visit the park is during the Christmas season when the mission is lined with luminarias. www.nps.gov/tuma/
