Grant Hilden
Volunteer Historian Grant Hilden will tell the story of the 1935 National Park Service expedition to Sonora that studied the Kino Missions for ideas to build a new visitor center and museum at Tumacácori National Monument - the building that is still in use today. You will learn about the men who undertook the study, what it was like traveling in Sonora in those years without paved roads (or roads of any kind at times), and what of the various missions' architecture was incorporated into the visitor center/museum building.
The lecture will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the old mission church at Tumacácori.
