Also some very early Territorial-era locations including the Butterfield State stop, the Cosmopolitan Hotel, the Pima County Courthouse where the Camp
Grant Massacre trial was held and the first San Augustin Cathedral.



Some famous lost locations on Congress Street will include the Plaza Theater, the opera House, the Congress Street School and the first Jacome's department store. The tour will end at the site of the grande dame of Tucson, the Santa Rita Hotel!


 


For up to 8 people. Great for family or a group of friends.  This tour requires walking and standing.  The tour will not be scheduled until Spring 2021 due to Covid.
