SUMMARY:Inside and Outside
DESCRIPTION:The Oro Valley Historical Society is opening more of our collection in the Pusch House Museum to the community and keeping it available all year long. Stroll through our exhibits\, revisit your favorites\, and experience Oro Valley history at your own pace.  Self-guided tours are free with donations gratefully accepted to help us keep Oro Valley history alive. \nAnd today\, take a stroll around the Ranch with our naturalist who will share stories about the geology\, geography\, plants\, and wildlife of our area during a gentle one-hour long tour.  Tours leave from the Pusch House Museum at 9:15 and 10:30 a.m.\, and end in the Society-maintained Heritage Garden where you can join archaeologists from the Old Pueblo Archaeology Center for an engaging look at the ancient cultures of Southern Arizona. Watch stone tools take shape through flintknapping\, learn about traditional crafts\, and explore a replica Hohokam pit house while uncovering the history of the Sonoran Desert.
