VISIT A VERY SPECIAL PLACE

Welcome and thank-you for taking the time to visit our website. Casa Grande Ruins is the first archeological site to be preserved by the federal government and the fifth oldest unit in the National Park Service. Set aside as a federal land reserve in 1892 and then as a National Monument in 1918, Casa Grande Ruins is a very special place, a place where history transcends 600 years of continuous occupation.

The staff at Casa Grande Ruins is extremely dedicated to preserving the Monument for future generations and providing today’s visitors with informative and educational experiences to ensure that your visit is both memorable and informative.

If at any time we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. Our goal is to serve you in the most efficient and effective means possible.
