“Forgotten Tempe: Phantom Places from the Past That Shape the Present” By Jared Smith
Tempe’s historic past is often defined by a handful of iconic buildings that remain in the present. But these very finite and fragile resources are the imperfect representatives of a past once populated with places like the White House, the Tempe Stockyards, Dewey Street and entire districts like San Pablo and Kyrene to name but a few. Although such places are gone, their power to define Tempe has not diminished even as suburbs, strip malls and high-rises alter the physical fabric that we experience every day. Remnants of these old places remain, stubborn reminders that the past is always present. Tempe Library. Presented by Tempe History Society with generous support from Friendship Village.

“Pueblo de los Muertos: City of the Dead”
By Ben FurlongDr. Ben Furlong presents a fascinating look at a forgotten local archeological site in Tempe: Los Muertos. In the late 1880s, the Hemenway Southwestern Archaeological Expedition set out to uncover the past and reveal important information about the area’s earliest inhabitants. Much of their time was spent among the ruins of 35 adobe structures located in present-day south Tempe and west Chandler. The largest of these was 200 feet wide by 320 feet long and was equivalent to four stories in height. The Hemenway Expedition dubbed the community Pueblo de Los Muertos, the town of the dead. After this project was complete, Los Muertos was forgotten yet again. Some 800 years later, new farmers moved in and rediscovered the gift of this land. Tempe History Museum. Presented by Tempe History Society with generous support from Friendship Village.
