Tumacácori National Historical Park

Tumacácori NHP protects three Spanish colonial mission ruins in southern Arizona: Tumacácori, Guevavi, and Calabazas. The adobe structures are on three sites, with a visitor center at Tumacácori. These missions are among more than twenty established in the Pimería Alta by Father Kino and other Jesuits, and later expanded upon by Franciscan missionaries.

		San José de Tumacácori Mission San José de Tumacácori was established in January 1691 by Jesuit Father Eusebio Francisco Kino. Located on 310 acres at the town of Tumacácori, Arizona, it is open to the public from the Tumacácori National Historical Park visitor center.

		Los Santos Ángeles de Guevavi Los Santos Ángeles de Guevavi was also established by Father Kino, one day after Tumacácori, in January 1691. It can be visited only as part of a reserved ranger guided tour during the fall and winter months.

		San Cayetano de Calabazas San Cayetano de Calabazas was established in November 1756 by Jesuit Father Francisco Pauer. It can be visited only as part of a reserved ranger guided tour during the fall and winter months.

		Mission Records 1684-1848 Baptismal, marriage, and burial records from the above three Spanish missions and many others are available on the Internet for reading, viewing, and printing in a database called Mission 2000.
