Join José every Monday through Friday as you start your day with Good Morning Tucson!
We're packing the car one more time on this summer's One Tank Trip s. This special series has taken you to fun places around southern Arizona on one full tank of gas.Good Morning Tucson is heading north on Oracle Road and AZ State Route 79. In Florence , a museum team is preserving the Arizona Territory's first-ever courthouse. At the same time, they've also turned the space into a tribute for a major figure in the state's story.
'We have over 100 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places,' Butler said. 'I think a big darn deal.'Still, this old courthouse could have been lost to the desert without the proper care. Enter Arizona statesman Ernest McFarland — he stepped up to buy the building in 1974. McFarland, in his political career, was first a U.S. Senator, then governor of Arizona, and finally, chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court.
