Deep, narrow yards with small retaining walls and front porches on the houses provide a quaint, neighborly atmosphere.

Landscaping in Feldman Historic District is largely informal, consisting of multiple varieties of cacti, desert trees, and textured shrubs. Decorative rock retaining walls accent the landscape, as do earth toned sands and rocky walking paths.

Activities include riding horses, touring mines, shopping, and dining. More modern attractions like merry-go-rounds, train rides, and shooting galleries are also offered.

Other Tucson attractions near the Feldman District include exploration at the Colossal Cave Mountain Park, home to amazing natural rock formations and phenomenal wildlife.

Feldman Historical District used to be referred to as “Lung Hill,” a reference made popular because there were four tuberculosis sanatoriums located there. These structures are now used for other purposes, mainly as retirement communities and hospitals.
