Sosa-Carillo-Fremont House Museum


The Sosa-Carillo-Fremont House is an adobe structure that was built in 1880 and has served as the home for the Carillo family for a century. It is located on the grounds of the Tucson Convention Center, has undergone a variety of restorations, and is reportedly haunted. The home features period furniture from the 19th century. There is free admission to the museum, but you will need to make a reservation if you want a walking tour of the property. The home is unique because it provides a broad view of the history of the city and was occupied by a family that played an important role in the history of Tucson. It is also known as the John C. Fremont House, which is unusual because Fremont never owned the property. He rented the home from the Carillo's for a period of time but may have never stepped foot on the property. The home sits at the end of a brick walkway and appears to be out of place in its location. The Music Hall is situated to the left of the building and the actual Convention Center is to the right. The house originally had only two rooms but has been expanded over the years to feature seven rooms. Ghost hunts in the home have produced unusual findings, including photos with blurred images and strange fogs.
