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

#OnThisDay, 30 May 1899, Pearl Hart (and Joe Boot) hold up a stagecoach in Arizona: it's one of just two recorded instances of a woman holding up a coach in the US.

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.

🌎🌵 Happy Earth Day from AHS!
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.
