Village of Columbus and Camp Furlong, Military historic site in Columbus, United States.
The Village of Columbus and Camp Furlong features military structures, a customs house, and an airfield spread across the New Mexico border region.
In March 1916, Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa led 485 men in an attack on Columbus, resulting in the death of 18 Americans.
The site preserves buildings from the original camp, including the recreation hall and customs house, which document early 20th-century military operations.
Visitors can explore the museum exhibits, historic structures, and state park facilities that detail the 1916 raid and subsequent military expedition.
The location contains the first tactical military airfield in the United States, used by the 1st Aero Squadron during the 1916 Punitive Expedition.
