Casa Grande Ntnl Monument
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument
Casa Grande means “big house” (even I knew this). Obviously it is a very old “stick and mud” house from the natives dating back 7500 years. It is 4 stories tall and only a small part of what is known of a larger community of many structures. It was a pretty amazing thing considering how long it has lasted… which could not be said of the many “modern” houses across Arizona. Although our modern ones were only a fraction of Casa Grande’s age, they were in worse shape.
