Enjoy a free self-guided tour at Tempe’s most mysterious historic site. Tucked below two hills on desert land that was once far from town, this resting place is almost as old as the city itself. Walk among the gravestones to learn the stories of five Tempe women remembered as neighbors, advocates, educators, and community builders. You will be surprised by the history right under your feet!
Tempe History Museum docents will be stationed at each clearly marked gravesite to start conversations and answer questions.
Please note: the historic nature of Double Butte Cemetery may affect accessibility for some people with mobility considerations. Reaching the gravesites requires navigation of unpaved pathways, uneven surfaces, and areas of loose dirt or gravel.
