It has a minimum of maintenance to barely keep it alive. That said, if you can schedule yourself to come on Bayard Days in September you are in for a real treat. The historical society puts on an annual event that really brings all the history to life. 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. There is a walking tour with signs about the yard for you to follow anytime. There is a one building museum that is open on Bayard Days. Call the Historical society for details and tours.

We visited Silver City KOA last weekend and are still having withdrawals! I am not a huge fan of…read morecamping but was happy to stay in their deluxe cabin, which has an AC unit and was the perfect amount of space for my husband and two small children. There was one full size bed with 1 bunkbed with a bathroom and shower. There was also a fridge, toaster, microwave and a coffee maker. There are 8-9 cabins total and space for RVs to park. The campground felt safe for the kids to run around, which brought my normal anxiety level down. It was nice that the kids were tablet free because there were endless amounts of games and activities to do in their game room such as PacMan, Foosball, and Ping Pong. There is also a playground with an open field to run around, a sandbox and a basketball court. Then there's the gift shop. We almost bought the entire store from all the cool apparel, accessories, souvenirs and gifts that were there. What made the whole experience worth it were the hosts, Josh and Mary. They treated us like we were family and were very hospitable. Although our trip was short, we were able to check out downtown and visit the City of Rocks, which is about a 30 min drive from the campground. Parking is $5 for the day. I would definitely come back to Silver City KOA annually!
