Description: The Mesa Grande Temple Mound is located in the Mesa Grande Cultural Park at 1000 N. Date St. Built by the Hohokam in 1100 AD. The walls are made of “caliche”, the calcium carbonate hardpan that forms under the desert soils. The mound is longer and wider than a modern football field (note: U.S. Football) and is 27 feet high. The Mesa Grande Cultural Park was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in November 21, 1978, reference number 78000549. Pictured is Nina Skrdla-Santiago, my (Tony the Marine) granddaughter.
