Fort Verde State Historic Park

Fort Verde State Historic Park contains four original buildings from the 1870s, including officer quarters and military headquarters standing amid desert landscape.

The fort operated from 1865 to 1891 as a strategic base for General Crook's military operations to maintain peace between settlers and indigenous populations.

The preserved military headquarters building contains exhibits displaying uniforms, weapons, and personal items from soldiers, doctors, and Native American scouts of the 1880s.

Visitors can explore the furnished officer quarters, administration building, and museum displays daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM for an entrance fee of $7.

The Bachelor Officers' Quarters features period furnishings and artifacts that demonstrate living conditions of unmarried military personnel in frontier Arizona.
