Events › Our Stories: Pueblo de Los Muertos- The Forgotten City

Dr. Ben Furlong presents the story of Pueblo de los Muertos, an indigenous village located in present-day south Tempe and west Chandler, which existed from about 300-1450 A.D. The unprecedented Hemenway Southwestern Archeological Expedition explored this area in 1887-1888 to discover and identify thousands of artifacts, and located more than 35 structures from this pre-historic site.

Dr. Furlong, former Kyrene School District Superintendent, will share this history that is covered in his recent book, "Pueblo de los Muertos." Join us to hear more about this “forgotten city”, the expedition, and the historical significance to today!
