Our “sister” presidio of Terrenate was constructed near the west bank of the San Pedro River in 1775. It lasted only five years and during that time suffered from its isolation and numerous raids. Two of its four commanders were killed in raids. Historical archaeologist Homer Thiel will describe the ruins that are still visible and explain this interesting episode in Arizona’s history.
We will have lunch under the cottonwood trees at the remains of the town of Fairbank, situated on the east bank of the San Pedro River, a few miles from Terrenate. We’ll return through the beautiful high grasslands of the Sonoita Plain.
This trip is limited to 30 people so sign up now! We plan to travel by carpooling in our own cars. When you register, please us know whether you would like to drive or be a passenger. Parking near the Presidio San Agustin is free on Saturday.
