The Wupatki Ruins, located in northern Arizona, stand as a testament to the ancient Sinagua and Ancestral Puebloan people who once thrived here. Built around 1100 AD, this multi-room pueblo was a vital center of trade and culture in the high desert. #Wupatki #AncientRuins #ArizonaHistory

Barry Goldwater was a prominent political figure in Arizona, but did you know he was also a dedicated ham radio operator? During the Vietnam War, Goldwater used his ham radio to help soldiers overseas stay connected to their families back home. #Arizonahistory #barrygoldwater #hamradio

Bouse, AZ is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of place. Once a boomtown during the mining and railroad days. It’s a great place to discover WWII history in the desert.

Today, we honor the Battle of Puebla and the Mexican victory over French forces in 1862, a story of courage, resistance, and pride.

For Arizona, Cinco de Mayo also reminds us that Mexican culture is not “foreign” to this state. It is foundational to it.

Did you know that the iconic saguaro cactus is protected by AZ state law? Saguaros can live for more than 150 years & often don't grow their first arm until they're 50-75 years old.
