Fort Lowell Park and Museum
Fort Lowell Park and Museum Review
Fertile soil and proximity to the Rillito River once enticed the Hohokam to construct a village on this site. Centuries later, a fort (in operation from 1873 to 1891) was built here to protect the fledgling city of Tucson against the Apaches. The former commanding officer's quarters at this tiny museum has artifacts from military life in territorial days. Admission to the museum is free on the first Saturday of every month. The park has a playground, ball fields, tennis courts, and a duck pond.
