The Pimeria Alta Historical Society (PAHS) was formed in 1948, when a group of 28 concerned citizens got together to preserve the rich and exciting history of the area. Since its inauguration, the mayor, and city council of Nogales have supported the society, turning over the first floor and basement of the Old City Hall to PAHS for use as a museum in 1980.

HISTORIC LOWE HOUSE in OLD TOWN TUBAC
OWNED AND OPERATED BY NANCY VALENTINE
A HOUSE THAT GOES DEEP INTO TUBAC'S PAST, WITH LAYERS OF HISTORY
“Golden Era” of Silver Mining: 1853-1861
In the mid-1800s the Lowe House was restored and expanded for use during Tubac’s mining boom-town days when Charles Poston—“Father of Arizona” – headed up a short-lived but colorful Territorial Era silver mining town here.
Tubac “…had no law but love, and no occupation but labor. No government, no taxes, no public debt, no politics. It was a community in a perfect state of nature…” Charles Poston, 1904-1941
