About this place

Fort Stanton is a sprawling historic military site in south-central New Mexico with 88 buildings, some built in the 1850s from local stone. Families can walk across the 240 acres to see officers' quarters, barracks, a hospital, chapel, stables, and other structures from the fort's long history as a military post and later uses. The site includes a cemetery with white crosses, a functioning post office, and a small museum in the only fully restored building. Children aged 16 and under get in free.

If you are a member here

A membership to Fort Stanton carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

  • NARM in New Mexico Art, history and cultural institutions. Not valid within 15 miles of here.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
