The ruins aren’t the only thing getting old.
Attempts to expand Casa Grande Ruins National Monument go back more than a decade. It’s time to get this done.
The monument protects an outstanding example of 13th century Hohokam architecture. But the people who lived there from about A.D. 400 to 1450 left behind more than just the Great House, or Casa Grande.
Ruins of an extensive village stretch well beyond the current monument boundaries. Those archaeological sites are a vast library of information that exists nowhere else. They deserve protection.
