Destination Information
The following information is provided by the Tubac
Chamber of Commerce. (www.tubacaz.com)
Additional information can be found at
Tubac Arizona.
Tubac was established in 1752 as a Spanish presidio (fort).
Today it is a great little community of working artists who have studios that
now surround the grounds which once served as the home for a Spanish military
garrison. Tubac remembers its origins at the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park
located in the village's Old Town, and no visit to Tubac is complete without a
stop at the State Park.
Scenic high desert vistas surround Tubac, and the village
enjoys a year-around economy that benefits from summer temperatures notably
cooler that Tucson or Phoenix. You will love meandering through the streets of
this old western town. There are numerous art galleries, working studios and
gift shops. The Tubac Center of the Arts provides a full range of arts
programming, and seasonal exhibitions should not be missed. A variety of locally
owned restaurants (click here for
restaurants) are open for for both lunch and dinner,
and our marvelous bed & breakfasts (Click here for information on the Tubac
Country Inn) mean that your visit to Tubac doesn't have to end when the shops
close!
For additional information, contact the Tubac Chamber of
Commerce, P.O. Box 1866 Tubac, AZ 85646. 520.398.2704.

Accommodations Suggestions
The Anza Inn
Opening its doors during the winter of 2008, the Anza Inn offers guests nightly,
weekly, and monthly lodging in three historically unique buildings. Known to the
locals as “The Poston Block”, the oldest building at the Inn dates back to the
1850s when the founding father of Arizona, Charles Poston first built his home
on the site. Poston settled in Tubac to mine silver found in the local mountains
behind Tubac.
The Anza Inn is listed as a nationally registered
historic building and is within an easy walking distance of both the Anza trail
for hiking/biking and all of Tubac’s 97 shops, galleries, and restaurants. The
Tubac Country Club and Culinary Institute are also just moments away. For additional information about this hotel, or to make a
