FORT HUACHUCA MUSEUM

One of the more unique museums of Cochise County is the Fort Huachuca Historical Museum located at Brown's Parade Field within the fort grounds. This museum tells the story of the fort's early days. Exhibits cover the fort's role in the Apache wars and its later involvement in protecting the border region from marauding renegade Apaches and bandits both Mexican and homegrown. It also includes exhibits highlighting the 10th Cavalry regiment, the famed Buffalo Soldiers who served at Fort Huachuca under General Black Jack Pershing. Contact Fort Huachuca or the Sierra Vista Chamber of Commerce for information on days and hours of operation. Larry Elkins - Elkins Photos Fine Art Photography
