Step back into time and encounter some of the nation's most colorful history.

Reflect on historic times by visiting the wide variety of museums or experience the new age depicted in the influence of modern art galleries.

Benson:
Rising land prices in Pima County, and a desire for a certain kind of lifestyle, are driving development towards Benson, a city roughly 40 miles east of Tucson, with a population of about 5000.

Benson, the friendliest little whistle stop in the West, has three major Interstate 10 exits, a major grocery store and a Super Walmart.

According to some land brokers, land in Pima County is running about 30% more expensive than in Cochise County. Developers are looking to the Benson area, which is about the same distance from Tucson's airport as northern Marana. Benson is close enough for many Tucson area commuters to consider living there. The Benson area is going to drastically change in the next five to ten years. Tucson is moving in that direction.

Cochise Stronghold:
This was the Stronghold of the legendary Cochise, who held the westward migration of the white man for nearly 15 years. Somewhere beneath the winding stream bed that wanders through the camp, his body may still lie buried. No one really knows! Visit the Cochise Visitor Center in Willcox, filled with memorabilia of dramatic Apache history and the early settlers who tamed the Sulpher Springs Valley. Wilcox has been the center of cattle ranching in Sulpher Springs Valley for nearly 100 years, so be sure and find a steak fit for a hungry cowboy!

Cochise Stronghold Campground has been recently renovated and is located in a magnificent, rugged canyon that served Cochise as a refuge against his enemies. As you enter the East Stonghold Canyon, you pass in the shadow of rocks that served the Apache warrior as perches for his lookouts. The haunting shapes of these carved rocks help make a visit to this charismatic place an unforgettable experience. There are wonderful hiking trails and campsites.

Bisbee:
Brewery Gulch still winds its way deep into a mountain cleft. Many of the original buildings still stand from the days when Bisbee was a bawdy mining town. The Lavender Pit was once one of the world's largest open pit mines. Tours are available of this gigantic excavation. Bisbee is now turning into a youthful center for artists and craftsmen.
