Tubac Presidio State Park

Hi All,

After three days of "work ", we did some shopping and local exploring. Four miles north of Tumacacori are the remains of the Tubac Presidio, a fort built by the Spanish in 1752 in response to the Indian uprising the previous year. Very little remains of the presidio but there is an excellent museum and 1885 schoolhouse.

One of the rules for the teachers. Fortunately, marriage is no longer considered unseemly conduct ;-)

Examples of exquisite basket weaving by local Indians
