Description

About two hours north of Tucson in the Western town of Globe, there is one of the most fascinating places for learning about an ancient tribe that inhabited this part of the country more than 700 years ago. The Besh Ba Gowah (meaning "place of metal") site, home of the Salado people from about 1240 to 1400 A.D., is considered a prehistoric center of trade for farmers. There are interpretive trails, a museum showcasing artifacts and site models. Admission is $3 for adults, $2 for seniors, free for children under 12.
