Pueblo Grande Museum Archaeological Park

030
  Pueblo Grande Archaeological Park preserves a small part of the ruins of a village, one of  many that were built by the Hohokam culture who also lived and farmed at Casa Grande near Tucson. The Hohokam live at Pueblo Grande from A.D. 450 to 1450. They utilized canals to irrigate their fields and may have abandoned the village when a series of floods lowered the Salt River level and destroyed the irrigation system.The site includes a paved trail that allows visitors to view the preserved walls of the village buildings along with several recreated houses and a nicely done museum with a short film about the Hohokam culture and the archeological site.
