Santa Cruz Valley Historical Society
Help Us Honor Our Past and Educate Future Generations
We serve the Santa Cruz Valley, including Sahuarita, Green Valley, Continental, and surrounding rural communities. Our programs are designed to engage a diverse audience, with a particular focus on the retired population in Green Valley and school-age children in Sahuarita. Through educational programming, community presentations, and youth outreach, we provide meaningful opportunities for residents of all ages to connect with and better understand the history and heritage of our region. Our efforts help strengthen community identity, encourage intergenerational learning, and ensure local history is preserved and shared for the benefit of the entire community.

A Message From Us:
