Ft Huachuca Museums
 
Recommended by: Sharon Heikkinem
Jacob's Review:  The first building is about old horse soldiers. There is old time guns and new ones too! It is cool. Don’t forget to go upstairs!

Dad's Notes:  Fort History Museum - Tells the story of the US Army (and Cavalry) in the southwest. From initial movements, Indian wars and Apache clashes, to exploits of the African-American regiments activities from Mexico war through WWII. And, of course, the history of the Army around the Huachuca’s - due to is location near the Mexican border it has played an important role in the nations defense.
     Military Intelligence Museum - The evolution of Military Intelligence in the Army. The building itself is also neat, the gift shop volunteers are very knowledgable about local history & activities.
