The Blacklidge Castle

It is a one-of-a-kind place, with a one-of-a-kind host! I am a kind, easy-going, hard-working human bringing to life a Medievil-themed Castle in the middle of downtown residential Tucson.

It is an ambitious project and will require the contributions of many to bring the vision to life. I've hired formal help in some critical areas and will be depending on my hands along with friends, family, volunteers, and some contractors to get everything into place. I work fast, know a lot about Tucson, what places to visit, and want to help others both contribute to the lasting impact of the project -and- experience all that is Tucson, Arizona!
