Fort Bliss Main Post Historic District

Fort Bliss Main Post Historic District is a military installation with preserved buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s located in El Paso. The structures display Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles typical of that era.

The post was founded in 1891 as a military installation and played an important role in military operations throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many buildings from its founding period remain standing today.

The district takes its name from General William Wallace Bliss, a 19th-century military leader whose legacy shaped the post. Walking through reveals how soldiers and their families actually lived in this community.

Access to the site is available during specific times and requires security clearance procedures. Guided tours led by military staff provide detailed information about the historic structures and their purposes.

A preserved two-story hospital building stands as a reminder of medical care during the military era. This structure offers insight into how health services were organized to support soldiers and their families.
