Fort Selden, Military fort in Radium Springs, New Mexico, US.
The adobe brick ruins of Fort Selden stand along the Rio Grande, marking the location of a former military installation from the 1800s.
Established in 1865, Fort Selden protected settlers and travelers along El Camino Real during conflicts between settlers and Apache groups until 1891.
The fort housed Buffalo Soldier regiments, African American military units that served in the United States Army during the late nineteenth century.
The Fort Selden Historic Site operates from Wednesday through Sunday, 8:30 AM to 4 PM, with adult admission at 5 dollars and free entry for children.
Future General Douglas MacArthur spent his childhood years at Fort Selden when his father served as the post commander in the late 1800s.
