FBHPS wishes to express our gratitude to the Youth Conservation Corps for all of their hard work in improving the grounds at Fort Bayard National Historic Landmark this spring and summer, 2020.
The Historic Preservation Society operates two separate facilities, the Museum on site at the historic fort, AND the Santa Clara/Historic Fort Bayard Visitors Center, located in the former National Guard Armory, along US Highway 180, about one and one half miles south of the Fort.
The Santa Clara/Historic Fort Bayard Visitors Center is located at 11990 US Hwy 180, 6 miles east of Silver City, on the north side of the highway, in the former National Guard Armory Building. Due to health orders from the Governor, the Visitors Center remains closed until the Covid19 crisis recedes enough to allow for public visitation.
