OPINION PIECE from another source
Dear Readers,
We urge you to pay attention to this pending budget "shortfall" that would eliminate funding for one of the keystone resources and repositories of Arizona History.

Patagonia Places: Historic Resources
PLACES: most residents either walk or drive by these locations all the time - hidden to some, but clearly marked on this 1994 Survey ... see a post by scrolling downfor some information about another location in Patagonia on the National Register of Historic Places
Please note that these places tend to cluster on a very walkable path in and around the Patagonia Town Park and can serve to anchor a self-guided walking tour through history at the center of town.
Plans are currently being developed by The Municipal Property Association, the beneficiary organization for this year's Patagonia Fall Festival, for looking at the health of the trees in the greenway in the heart of town and ways to regenerate its use and enjoyment by all.
Locations marked with black squares are individually eligible or a potentially contributing property in the mapping of the Town of Patagonia done by Don W. Ryden AIA/Architects Inc.
You might or might not be surprised that there are only two properties here listed in The National Register of Historic Places:
Richardson Park 4th Avenue & McKeown - no information there about the town founder
Patagonia Jail
McKeown & Third Avenue
Duquesne & Third Avenue
Lopez Pool Hall on Duquesne
