Tour the newly-reopened Hayden House in Tempe
Part of 2nd Sundays on Mill
Posted
Take a tour of art, history and restoration. The Hayden House will be open for self-guided tours from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 10 as part of 2nd Sundays on Mill.
The 2nd Sundays on Mill is a family-friendly local market featuring Arizona-made artisans, crafts, baked goods, unique gifts and more. Enjoy free live, local music, fitness classes and outdoor games on Mill Avenue between Third and Seventh streets. Self-guided tours of Hayden House will be part of the fun for this particular market.
Hayden House is near the Onk Akimel (Salt River) where O’Odham, their ancestors and other traveling Indigenous peoples have crossed the river since time immemorial. Built in 1874 by Charles Trumbull Hayden, Hayden House is an excellent example of adobe craftsmanship. It is also the longest, continuously-occupied building in Maricopa County.
After more than a year of restoration, Hayden House has reopened. The restoration effort has won recent awards from the Arizona Preservation Foundation and the Arizona Masonry Council. It is now home to the offices of Downtown Tempe Authority. Inside the building are interpretive panels that showcase significant features of the home and explain its historic significance.
