There is also an ADA road access option but I'd recommend the trail unless you can't make the hike. It's a fairly easy trail. Going back to the trailhead, take the Overlook Ridge trail located north of the visitor center. It affords better views of the site. - Lots of informative signs along the trail and at the fort describing the history (which is sordid - Cochise was framed!). - Also lots of signs identifying the various plants. - Visitor center has a great collection of artifacts and especially, old photos. - The fort itself is very interesting - many buildings (or rather, the remains of buildings) to explore. Don't forget to walk up the short trail on the west side to see the original fort.

This is certainly an interesting set up for a national historic site.

If you have a disability, you can skip the hike and drive in, but you have to make prior arrangements so they can open the road for you. It's due to the road crossing sensitive ecological areas so they want to limit traffic. Since I visited in winter, a lot of the critters were hibernating/less active, so I didn't see any wildlife. The hike was ok. Sometimes the trail was narrow and so you were brushing up against grass. There's no water on the trail until the visitor center so make sure you bring water. There's a spring along the way (0.25 miles from the visitor center) but it's not treated and not recommended to drink from it. The ruins are not going to be restored, rather they put concrete/plaster over it to preserve them. There's some exhibits in the visitor center explaining things, but the volunteer and rangers are better sources of information. Otherwise I wish that there were more details. There's a small gift shop as well. Restrooms are at the trailhead and at the visitor center.

It's a pretty challenging walk up to the top. We only made it to a nice viewpoint along the path. There's benches along the way to take breaks at. Overall, it's a pretty place to visit.

If so, any Earps on the porch during the McLaury/ Clanton funeral procession may have, indeed, seen the hearses pass by on their way to Boot Hill. (The type of collision between cinematic fiction and historical lore that I just love to ponder.) The modest structure and grounds are in good repair and match well with similar little dwellings throughout the area. Adjacent to the house is a statue of Tombstone's most famous lawman surrounded by a low wrought iron fence. The property itself is enclosed by another white picket fence, and there's even a horse perpetually hitched in the front yard. (A tribute to Wyatt's racing horse, Dick Naylor?) Barriers do not impede visitors' ability to view or photograph the space in its entirety from multiple angles. If you have visited Tombstone, you know that high walls or barriers obstruct many attractions from those unwilling to pay a fee (i.e. the O. K. Corral gunfight site, Rose Tree Museum, Bird Cage Theatre, etc.); this is free! Apparently, the house can be booked as lodging accommodations, so I doubt there are any public tours due to interior modernization and the comfort of guests. For this reason, I appreciate the proprietor's willingness to accommodate the history buffs and looky loos (like myself) that undoubtedly trudge around the site's periphery daily. It's a nice little quick-stop with some exceptional photo opportunities.

They bring n school children by the bus loads and have costumed actors telling about the events of the time when the Fort was in use. I was there for this last year and I believe this recreation of history is a wonderful model that is an example for other historical societies to follow.

For over 50 years Fort Huachuca has been the home to the world's largest unmanned aircraft systems training facility, as well, it has been a critical national asset in support of the Army's Unmanned Aerial Systems because of its restricted airspace and abundant training resources. They train Soldiers and Marines to fly and maintain a variety of UAVs. The museum has a number of small unmanned drones on display, that were tested at the Fort, as well as some of the cameras and GPS systems that were tested and used years ago in training. There is also a model of the UAS control simulator that was used for training pilots. The Fort is the primary training facility for all UAS Soldiers. If you have the time there is a small theatre down in front, with handicap access, where you will find chairs and a table to sit and watch video or read some of the books that are available there. This is a must see museum while visiting the Fort. It is located just across the parking lot from the Buffalo Soldiers Museum and an easy short walk. There is no charge to visit.
