Casa Grande Ruins

The Casa Grande Ruins are an intriguing archaeological site that tells the story of the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People. This native community was a sophisticated farming society that built an extensive system of irrigation canals. The Casa Grande, or "Great House," was a central gathering place for the Desert People. It is not known for certain whether the Casa Grande served as a waypoint marker in this extensive network of trading partners, or if it was simply a place for the community to come together. Either way, the Ruins provide a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People.
