The Vail Preservation Society (VPS) began in late 2006 as a community action group to preserve the Old Vail Store & Post Office. In September 2007, the IRS recognized VPS as a 501(c) 3, non-profit organization. VPS participates in research, education, preservation of local stories through oral histories, saving and repurposing historic buildings, and outreach events that celebrate the history of Vail and honor its railroad and ranching roots.

VPS serves the greater Vail community, a largely rural area located southeast of Tucson. Our area of interest closely mirrors the Vail Unified School District borders: from the southern boundary of Saguaro National Park East south to the Santa Cruz County line, and from the Cochise County line west to Wilmot Road. Last year, our programs reached over half the residents of the rural Vail community, with 112 volunteers investing more than 4,670 hours to support our education, outreach and preservation efforts.
