Friends of the Huachuca Mountains: Following the Footsteps of The Forgotten Botanist – A Visual Journey: Sara Plummer Lemmon’s Life and Work

Author Wynne Brown will describe the life and work of Sara Lemmon, the first white woman to climb to the top of the peak near Tucson that is named after her.

Sara and her husband, J.G., traveled throughout the Southwest, California, Oregon, and Mexico, discovering hundreds of new plant species. This program will focus in particular on the 1882 watercolors that survive from Sara’s time in the Huachucas.

All are invited to attend our summer program of presentations on the natural and cultural history of the Huachuca Mountains and environs. These presentations are offered free of charge at the Carr House.
