Fort Bayard National Historic Landmark – New Mexico

Images of Fort Bayard National Historic Landmark – Southwestern New Mexico, taken in October 2017.

Established as a military outpost in 1866 Fort Bayard National Historic Landmark was eventually converted into the army’s first tuberculosis sanitarium and later a Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital.

Early in its history the fort’s mission was to protect miners and settlers from Apache Raiders. During that period the fort was manned by several African-American units including the “Buffalo Soldiers”, Company B of the 25th United States Colored Infantry Regiment.
