Tucson has a very new Southern Arizona Heritage and Visitors Center, and it’s located in the very old Pima County Courthouse building. It highlights everything from the very high Sky Islands to the very low John Dillinger trial; from a very soft desert ecosystem diorama to the very hard adobe blocks in the Presidio wall. Very special and very impressive!
