The Adobe Mountain Railroad Museum and Park will have kids clamoring to ride a real steam engine! Open by donations and from the efforts of the Sahuaro Central Railroad Heritage Preservation Society, visitors are welcome to the authentic steam train tours through acres of replica models, including a working model 1884 locomotive.

Many of the Valley’s gated master planned communities are built where cotton once grew. Subdivisions have sprouted up on farmland in all directions. Areas that were once rural are now home to a more diverse population, who enjoy amenities that were previously out of their budget.
