Steam Pump Ranch in Oro Valley, Arizona is a historic 16-acre property listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offering visitors a unique blend of history, culture, and community. Restored historic buildings, guided tours by the Oro Valley Historical Society, and rotating exhibits bring the region’s past to life, while the ranch’s picturesque desert setting—with open green spaces and mountain views—also makes it a charming and affordable venue for weddings and celebrations. Open daily from sunrise to sunset, the site hosts the popular Heirloom Farmers Market every Saturday, along with year-round community gatherings.
Love the Farmers market here. We love Golden Rule Dairy!

Lost and found here in the sight of the morning around happy people in Oro Valley ready to take on the cool sun shine. Living for another day in a Farmers Market. (COFFEE) Soap's, vegetable, bicycle day, and a blade Smith all enjoying how everything worked out. ☆☆☆☆☆

Best time to go is Saturdays. There is a weekly farmers market. Plus the museum is open. I love to walk around and see the history of the area.
