Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Tumacacori National Historical Park was created to protect and showcase the ruins of three 17th-century missions, the most famous of which is the Mission San José de Tumacácori, established in 1691. The ruins are adobe, wood, and plaster reminders of the clash of cultures and constant changes that swept through this region throughout the last several centuries.

Located only fifty miles from Tucson, Arizona, the walk through the ruins and the visit to the picturesque historic Mission of San Jose de Tumacacori attracts thousands of tourists every year.

The park also contains the Tumacácori Museum building, built in 1937, another National Historic Landmark. While the remnants of the Mission and the Museum provide a short, informative visit that you can take on your own, there are guided tours that offer more in-depth information to those interested in the history of this colorful region. For the more adventurous, there is a historic Anza Trail that passes nearby.
