Tumacácori National Historical Park
Tumacacori National Historical Park, off Frontage Road south of Tubac, Arizona, has been an International Dark Sky Park since 2018. It has run evening programs on the night sky as a cultural resource since 2016, and keeps remarkably dark skies despite lying between two growing urban areas.
