The story behind our famous stamp icon:
Our emblem is more than just an icon; it's a part of our community's history,
Jesus Moreno, a fellow Nogalian who graduated from Nogales High School in 1982.
He created this sketch when he was 20-years-old and a student at the University of Arizona.
And now thanks to his distinguished design, this icon stands as a true testament of how Nogales carries rich history in many distinct ways.
Thank you Community Foundation of Southern Arizona!
On behalf of the Pimeria Alta Museum and Historical Society, we would like to express our gratitude to the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona for awarding us with a grant from the COVID-19 Event Relief Fund.
Like many organizations and businesses, the Pimeria Alta Historical Society and Museum was greatly impacted by the pandemic where our museum still remains closed but this funding will be a substantial help toward our efforts in keeping the history of Nogales-Santa Cruz County alive. Thank you CFSA for your help during this difficult time and we hope to resume our normal hours of operation soon!
