Casa Grande is located about 40 minutes south of our home. This was a great Saturday adventure. The following description is from the official website. For more info: www.nps.gov/cagr/index.htmAn Ancient Sonoran Desert People's farming community and "Great House" is preserved at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. Created as the nation's first archeological reserve in 1892, the site was declared a National Monument in 1918. The Casa Grande was abandoned around 1450. Since the ancient Sonoran Desert people who built it left no written language behind, written historic accounts of the Casa Grande begin with the journal entries of Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino when he visited the ruins in 1694.
