About
The Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum is located on what was the northeast corner of the original Presidio, at the modern-day address of 196 N. Court Ave. It features a reconstruction of the original Tucson Presidio built in 1775. It also features an historic 1850’s Sonoran Row home, an uncovered 2,000 year old indigenous pit house, and the Early People’s Park. Docent tours give visitors a glimpse of what life was like in early Tucson.
