Join us for the 250th Anniversary of the 1775 Anza Expedition to California
“On October 23, 1775, Juan Bautista de Anza and over 200 settlers departed the Tubac Presidio to embark on an expedition covering nearly 1,000 miles and lasting 5 months. This expedition set in motion a chain of events that shaped Arizona, California, and the Western United States as we know it today. 250 years later, join us as we recognize, commemorate, and celebrate the rich and diverse history that links us all together.”
