Among the many ways we support the community is by hosting Breakfasts with History. In this lecture series, knowledgeable speakers provide insight into the varied and interesting history of life in the Santa Cruz River Valley.
In the spring, the society celebrates with an Annual Picnic at a historic site. Also, periodically we sponsor field trips to archaeological and historical sites.

Tumacácori Mission sits at a cultural crossroads in the Santa Cruz River valley. Here O’odham, Yaqui, and Apache people met and mingled with European Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries, settlers, and soldiers, sometimes in conflict and sometimes in cooperation. Follow the timeworn paths and discover stories that connect us to enduring relationships, vibrant cultures, and traditions of long ago.
The Pimeria Alta Museum is housed in the Old Nogales City Hall which was constructed in 1914. The museum provides information on the history of the Pimeria Alta and welcomes visitors to the border area.
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.
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

Interested in art classes this Fall? I’ll be teaching at the historic Lowe House in Old Tubac. Offerings in cold wax, color mixing and basic painting skills (oil or acrylic). Private or group.
Also would like to start a regular Sip ‘n Draw just for fun and exercise! Live model or still life subjects and a little spirits to keep it light! non-instructional. All mediums welcome.
Tucked away in a corner of Tubac resides the Historic Griffin Building called El Presidito. It is here in the quaint studios that the these artists attend to creating their fine art. Come visit them to gather inspiration and possibly even fall in love with one of their original paintings.
