SUMMARY:Santa Cruz River History Tour
DESCRIPTION:This two-mile walking tour is led by Mauro Trejo and focuses on our relationship with the Santa Cruz River\, how it supported Tucson’s early residents\, and the factors in the 19th and 20th century that affected its demise. \nThe tour begins at Tucson’s Mission Gardens and includes the sites of the former Spanish mission and the O’odham village that was the origin of our modern city. Attendees also visit Tucson’s tallest tree and the Garden of Gethsemane\, a holy site of statues made by WWI veteran and artist Felix Lucero in the 1940s.
