Hayden House Saturday Open House

How much do you know about this beautifully restored building in the shadow of the flour mill? Discover the many lives of Hayden House with your own self guided tour. Evolving from family home to boarding house to restaurant, this adobe treasure--widely known as “La Casa Vieja,” the old house, even in the 1920s--is the oldest continuously occupied building in Maricopa County.  

Drop by to experience this irreplaceable historic property, the starting point of modern Tempe. While you’re here, go on a musical tour from Appalachia to Europe and beyond! Black River Barn Band will play old-time music in the courtyard, breaking out the banjo, fiddle, mountain dulcimer and more. Free admission, no registration necessary. Donations welcome!  

Hayden House is located at 1 W. Rio Salado Pkwy., Tempe 85281.   

There is no public parking lot at Hayden House. The house is easily accessible by public transit. Parking at the 201 S. Ash Garage is a 3-minute walk. Visit tempe.gov/MuseumHistoricHouses for more information.  

This event is hosted in partnership with Downtown Tempe Authority.
