Casa Grande National Monument consists of the ruins of multiple structures surrounded by a compound wall constructed by the ancient people of the Hohokam period, who farmed the Gila Valley in the early 13th century. An Ancestral Sonoran Desert People's farming community and "Great House" are preserved at Casa Grande Ruins, providing one-of-a-kind educational opportunities. Whether a gathering place for people or simply a waypoint marker in an extensive system of canals and trading sites, the structures are a large part of the story of this site. Celebrating this National Park Service site, this national monument design and vintage poster art would be perfect for home or office decor. The art also serves as an excellent national park gift for the travel enthusiast in your life. As an original illustration, the design will look great as an unframed print, framed poster, notecard, postcard, metal sign, canvas, or mini canvas. Available in multiple size options, this hand-rendered nature illustration is fashioned in the style of 20th-century vintage art and the iconic travel art that first promoted the national parks and national monuments.
