The final Living History Day of the season will focus on the People Who Made Tucson and will be held on Saturday, April 9, from 10 am-2 pm.  The Presidio Museum comes alive allowing visitors get a feel for what it would have been like to be in the Presidio at its height of occupation in the late 18th century and during the 19^th century Territorial Period. Traditional activities include blacksmithing, soldier drills and the firing of a four-pound bronze cannon, children’s games, and tastings of handmade tortillas. This month, in addition to our traditional demonstrations, Living History will take a look at the different ethnicities and cultures that have made Tucson the city it is today with a focus on the Chinese. The Tucson Chinese Cultural Center will be on hand giving lectures throughout the day on the following topics:

 *Railroad Workers

 *Chinese Gardens

 *Chinese Trades:  Groceries, Laundries, and Restaurants

This event is included with admission, which can be paid at the door.
