Upcoming Dates

History Hikes: San Pedro House

Free

Join a Friends' docent for a tour of the San Pedro House.  You will learn about the history of this house when it was in use by cowboys working cattle for the Little Boquillas Ranch and what life was like for the Foster family that lived there in the 1940s. Abandoned and derelict, the house was lovingly restored in 1987 by the Friends of the San Pedro River in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management. The group will then tour the area of the house looking at the historic remnants from its time as a ranch house. The tour entails about 1/4 mile of walking over level trails. The tour will last about an hour. All walks are free, no reservations required. Meet a few minutes before the start time at the San Pedro House.

The San Pedro House is 7 miles east of Sierra Vista on Highway 90. Look for a turn on the south side of the highway about 0.5 mile west of the San Pedro River. San Pedro House is searchable as “San Pedro House” in Google Maps.
