"Fort Bayard is a treat to experience. It puts you back in the day. The buildings the history, old photos, the smells and the gracious people. I❤️it. Hope it stays around for many generations."
"Really interesting, solemn and quiet. The large streets are ideal for bicycle touring and there is zero traffic. Despite the posted hours, we saw the museum docent lock up and bail out a half hour early while we were figuring out where to park. It’s that sleepy a place. Do check out the National Cemetery and see the orderly blocks of our nation’s fallen. There are many tombstones from those that died in action during WWI and 19th century combat."
"Go there and get the history lesson from the gentleman on the porch. He made it come alive!"
"If you're in the area, Fort Bayard is worth the visit--especially if you are interested history. Plenty of informative stops around the Fort. Many with old photos to help with the description of the Fort. It was interesting to learn that this fort was primarily manned with Buffalo Soldiers during the Civil War years."
