Site Summary: Casa Grande was located within the heartland of an extensive prehistoric agricultural society. The Hohokam (a Pima Indian term meaning “those who have gone”), with extensive irrigation systems, were masters of the desert. The nation’s first archaeological preserve, the monument includes a visitor center with museum exhibits and trails through the ruins. Photograph of Casa Grande  © Adriel Heisey
