Established to protect the remains of an ancient farming community built by the Hohokam people, the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument was the first archaeological preserve in the country. The highlight of the site is the large and mysterious adobe Big House, and although visitors aren't permitted inside, most of its best features can be seen from the outside. The Visitor Center also offers plenty of informative exhibits about the Hohokam people and the structure itself. Visitors can easily explore the site by foot on their own, but hour-long guided tours are often available between the end of November and the beginning of April.
