Tubac Historical Society

Tubac Historic on Thursday Afternoon, November 2023
2023-11-30 15:30 - 17:00 UTC | Customs House Casita, 6 Burruel, Tubac, AZ, 85646, United States
In November, the “Tubac History on a Thursday Afternoon” discussion group will meet on November 30 at 3:30pm, the week after Thanksgiving. This one time only, instead of a sit-down discussion in the Casita, we will, instead, meet at the Casita to briefly review the details of the 1767 Urrutia map of Tubac, then go on a walking tour which will include some of the key places on the Urrutia map including the presidio soldiers’ houses and small plaza (which is inside the fenced Archaeological Conservancy area), a couple of parts of the old Spanish road, and the acequia — all shown on that map. In addition, we may stop at several of the places on the THS (self-guided) walking tour.
Since we will be out and about this one month only, we will skip having everyone bring drinks and snacks. Instead, bring good walking shoes, a bottle of water, and dress for the weather. Attendance will be limited, so pre-registration is required. Do that by emailing djudkins1950@gmail.com and sending your name(s), email address, and phone number.
Free. RSVP by emailing Dan Judkins.

Dear Members,

Once again, we are planning to assemble a Day of the Dead Altar/Ofrenda in front of THS on Burruel Street. We welcome your contributions in memory of deceased family and friends. We will also have an alter for your beloved animal family members.
Please drop off any articles you wish included on our altars on or before October 29th as we will be assembling them on the 30th. When you drop off items, please write your name, contact information, and a description of the items on the list at the front desk .The altar will be outside on the front porch day and night therefore please do not leave valuable or irreplaceable items. It will be dismantled on November 6th. You will be able to retrieve your items on that day or our next open day.
We hope you will participate once again this year. Last year (pictured) this was a wonderful remembrance of deceased family and friends.
Please research the meaning of these ofrendas online. There are many descriptions of the meaning of Day of the Dead with explanations of the symbolism of items too long to include in this letter.

Thank you,
Board of Directors

Tubac History on Thursday Afternoon
· October 26, 2023 at 3:30pm – this will be our second monthly Thursday afternoon history discussion
· At Tubac Historical Society’s “Casita,” 6 Burruel, Tubac
· Due to limited space in the casita for a small group like this, you will need to reserve a spot for this event ahead of time. Email Dan Judkins at djudkins1950@gmail.com to have your name placed on the list. Get your spot before they are gone. You do not have to be a THS member to attend, although we know that you will want to join THS if you are interested in local history.
· THS’s new Tubac History discussion group will be small, informal, and participatory. The group will gather for a relaxed time discussing a Tubac-relevant history topic. This will not be the usual “lecture,” but rather a series of questions on a specified topic, some mini “presentations” by several in the group, examination of documents and maps and relevant reference sources, and group discussion. You don’t have to prepare ahead of time, nor present anything – just relax and learn. Questions will be asked by everyone, and anyone with thoughts, ideas, or history tidbits will have time to share.
· Bring a small snack or hors d’ oeuvre to share, and something to drink for yourself.
· Oct. 26 topic: “Early Tubac – 1767-1776”
· This October 26, 2023 session will be moderated by Dan Judkins. Contact him at 520-490-7770, or djudkins1950@gmail.com if you have any specific questions or to ask more about the topic.
· The topic for October will be “The Pima Rebellion of 1751 and how it Relates to the Establishment of Tubac”

Henry Ossian Flipper
2023-02-01 - 2023-03-01 | Customs House, 6 Burruel, Tubac, AZ, 85646, United States
The Tubac Historical Society is celebrating Black History Month, February 1 to March 1, 2023, by honoring Henry Ossian Flipper who was born into slavery in 1856, was the first black graduate from West Point Military Academy in 1877, and by 1881 was falsely accused of embezzling government funds and stripped of his military status.
Undeterred by this, he reinvented himself and went on to forge a career as an engineer, Spanish translator, Justice Department special agent, inventor, author, historian and newspaper editor.
He spent much of the 1880s and 1890s in Nogales, Arizona, where he examined and adjudicated thousands of early land grants. He became a highly respected citizen of Nogales.
In spite of facing continual racism and unfair accusations throughout his life, he embodied a perfect example of 2023’s Black History Month theme of “Black Resistance.”
Come see our exhibit about Henry O. Flipper at our Visitor Center, 6 Burruel Street.

2022-09-30 17:00 - 19:00 | Tubac Center of the Arts, 9 Plaza Road, Tubac, AZ, 85646, United States
Please join us at The Tubac Center of the Arts on Friday, September 30th from 5 pm – 7pm for the opening reception of “If you believe in spirit it is here: Tubac’s Early Art Colonists.”
We are pleased to announce the next collaborative exhibit between the Tubac Historical Society and The Tubac Center of the Arts, featuring the early artists who lived and worked in Tubac between 1948 and 1989. The exhibit has been compiled by The Tubac Historical Society and will be displayed in the Library and Studio Gallery at the Tubac Center of the Arts from September 30th to November 14th.
The artwork for the exhibit was loaned to us by our fellow Tubaquenos following an appeal sent in mid-May to our membership. We’ve included a rich diversity of mediums – paintings, sculpture, jewelry, books, fountains, pottery – nearly 60 items created by more than 20 artists and only half of what was offered. Your enthusiastic responses helped bring to life the camaraderie of this early group of settlers who started Tubac on the road to “Where Art and History Meet.”
Parallel to the exhibit at the Tubac Center of the Arts, The Tubac Historical Society will be offering for sale several paintings by former Tubac artist, Earl Dravis, at our Customs House Visitor Center at 6 Burruel Street, across from the Presidio. And our gift shop also features cards, posters, maps, and books by local artists.

Surveys of the new border after the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, from 1849-1853, led to disputes and almost resulted in military action. The problem was solved with the Gadsden Purchase. This led to more border surveys. All of the surveys involved work in and around Tubac and Nogales. This presentation will highlight the many maps, landscape views, Indian tribes, and illustrations of plants and animals made by the surveyors and scientists working on the project.
This event has been postponed.
