Tubac was established in 1752 as a Spanish presidio (fort). Working
artists' studios 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 our 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. More than ninety businesses now line
Tubac's meandering streets, and a full day can be enjoyed wandering
through the 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 are open for for both lunch and dinner, and our marvelous
bed & breakfasts mean that your visit to Tubac doesn't have to end when
the shops close!
We hope you enjoy your visit to our unique community known as the place
Where Art & History Meet!
Tubac is an artist colony type village in Southern Arizona. Dozens of
arts and craft stores line the main street. Eating places abound and
there is the Tubac State Park and presidio with lots of historical
exhibits of territorial days.
Nearby is the Titan Missile base where we can tour the underground
launch facility once used as a deterrent force during the Cold War.
Don't forget Wisdon's Mexican Restaurant advice: eat light and save room
to enjoy the dessert chimmi.
Near to the Mission is the Santa Cruse Chilli factory with delicious
sauces not sold north of Tucson. Taste them and stock up.
