Really disappointing. Instead of preserving the historic authenticity of the site, the custodians have turned it into some kind of camp for kids. They've added modern fixtures and made other historically inaccurate modifications.It didn't help that half the place is shut down for 'renovation'. God only knows what was being destroyed in those buildings. Another piece of history lost.

Kinda shabby but informative. However, if this was the only old fort I had ever visited, I would have no reason to visit another one

A living history museum and a quiet rest stop in the San Luis Valley. Go back in time and learn the history of the American military forts in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico. They tell it like it was with fun exhibits and occasional reenactments. Can be a quick stop or a longer visit, maybe bring a picnic lunch.

Total suprise, wasn't expecting much when we stopped. Quality displays for the history of the fort. Really enjoyed the Lego fort, the buffalo information and the buffalo soldiers. Also the staff was really nice and talked to us about the fort's history. Lastly, I appreciated the diversity in the gift shop, thought we might just end up with some plastic junk,but found a beautiful kids book on the buffalo soldiers and some hand made pottery. Thanks!
