Laurie Zuckerman's January trip to Tubac, Arizona proved to be sunny, warm, and historically intriguing. The Tubac presidio is the oldest European settlement in Arizona, founded by the Spanish in 1752. The Tubac Cemetery, albeit old, does not appear to date back to the Presidio days, but it is filled with a plethora of rock graves, field stones with carved crosses, a few rotting wooden crosses, and old metal crucifixes amongst the rubble. Best part—no snow!
Stay tuned for photos of the historic Tumacacori Mission and cemetery, just south of Tubac, Arizona.
This cemetery holds the remains of many of my family members...most recently my parents. It made me feel good to see that others have visited this beautiful, historic cemetery besides us! Thanks.
