Description
Built in 1855 to protect local settlements from Apache raids, Fort Stanton stands today just as it has since the 19th century. Maintained by local citizens and history enthusiasts, the Fort has been home to Kit Carson, Bill the Kid, John "Black Jack" Pershing and hundreds of others bringing law to a wild frontier.
