Things to Do in Casa Grande, Arizona

A beautiful natural environment plays backdrop to this important preservation effort. At the Casa Grande Ruins you get the chance to see an ancient Hohokam Great House and farming plot. Protected since 1918, the National Monument area also is home to the American Indian Music Festival in February, so if you are in the area, you must stop. A visit here really sets the tone for your visit to Casa Grande. You'll find it off of Highway 87/287 (just follow the signs). Get more information at www.nps.gov/cagr.

A typical par 72 golf course, the greens are well tended and provide you with plenty to smile about while you make your way through the 18 holes. You'll need your sun hat or visor, but crowds are low and tee times are usually available without a problem. So stretch out from a long drive and check out the course.

Perhaps due to the energy of the Native Americans originally occupying this land, Casa Grande is said to be chock-full of ghostly activity. Visitors tell of a ghostly figure wandering down the highway at night with a Llama, and a spooky apparition is said to have been seen trying to make a phone call from a phone booth in town.
