LIVING HISTORY DAY – Celebrating Arizona’s Statehood
Saturday, February 12
10 am – 2 pm
The Presidio Museum comes alive allowing visitors to get a feel for what it would have been like to be in the Presidio at its height of occupation in the late 18th century.Traditional demonstrations available throughout the event include blacksmithing, tastings of handmade tortillas, children’s games, soldier drills and firing of muskets and cannon and much more.
This month, in addition to our traditional demonstrations, Living History will include displays and demonstrations highlighting the history of how Arizona became a state from New Spain to the Mexican era to the Territorial period.
As part of the celebration, Danzacultura Mexicana will perform Folklorico dancing at 11 am.
