Learn More The GarrisonThe 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. For more information contact Kate Avalos at katea@tucsonpresidio. comLearn More
