The Tucson History Social
What is it?
The Tucson History Social is a monthly exploration of the fascinating history of Tucson. This casual event features a 45-60 minute talk on a person, place or event in Tucson's history that helped shape us. Participants are encouraged to share their stories as we socialize and learn.
The History Social is currently being held through sponsorship of the Tucson Museum of Art as a part of their First Thursday Event and through the community partnership of Los Descendientes de Tucson and the Mexican American Heritage and History Museum.
