Fort Whipple, Military museum in Prescott, Arizona, United States.
The Fort Whipple Museum occupies a restored 1909 military officer's quarters on the grounds of the former military installation near Granite Creek.
Established in 1864, Fort Whipple served as the headquarters of the Military Department of Arizona from 1870 to 1886 during the American Indian Wars.
The museum exhibits document the progression from frontier military post to modern medical center through photographs, military equipment, and medical instruments.
The museum operates inside the VA Medical Center campus, requiring visitors to check in at the security gate with valid identification.
Fort Whipple's transformation from a military post to a tuberculosis treatment center in 1918 reflects the changing medical needs of American veterans.
