Casa Grande Ruins National Monument questions
Who built Casa Grande?
Ancestral Sonoran Desert People, sometimes called the Hohokam, built it around 1350. Today's O'odham and other tribes see them as ancestors.
Can you go inside the Casa Grande?
No. To protect the fragile walls, you view the Great House from the path around it.
Why is there a roof over Casa Grande?
The shelter, first built in 1932, protects the earthen walls from rain.
