Living History Volunteers: A monthly commitment

Living History volunteers are living historians who bring the Presidio to life by conducting demonstrations, explaining displays, and showing visitors what it was like to live within the walls of the Presidio San Agustín in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
For more information contact Kate Avalos at KateA@TucsonPresidio.com.

We also accept youth volunteers (10-17 years old) who lead activities or apprentice as interpreters at Living History events. We are always looking for new youth volunteers.

The Garrison: A monthly commitment

The Tucson Presidio Garrison portrays soldiers of the Spanish Colonial frontier at the Presidio. These men were volunteers who chose life in the army. The frontier was difficult, but it offered the opportunity for social advancement. They campaigned, escorted supplies, carried the mail and successfully spread the doctrine of the King of Spain. The Garrison interpreters bring the walls of the presidio alive with cannon fire and musket drills.
