What Has Been Stored Away

Something exciting happened behind the scenes at the Oro Valley Historical Society! Our volunteers spent the summer diving deep into a major transformation: digitizing our entire collection—photographs, documents, artifacts, and treasures that rarely see the light of day. We’re launching our archives into the 21st century, using new technology to preserve Oro Valley’s history in ways we’ve never been able to before.  As a result, the Pusch House Museum will look a little different this year—and that’s part of the adventure. While our rotating exhibits  take a brief pause, you’ll get to experience pieces of our collection that have never been displayed, alongside familiar favorites that feel like old friends. Think of it as a sneak peek into the vault while we build a digital future for our past.  And don’t worry—our volunteers will still be there every Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, ready to share stories, answer questions, and bring history to life just steps away from the Heirloom Farmers’ Market.  Cool off under the ramada misters, then stroll over to discover what’s new inside the Pusch House Museum.
We can’t wait to see you—history loves company!
