Fort Tuthill

Description:

• Fort Tuthill Museum is housed in one of Fort Tuthill's original buildings and presents the history of the 158th Infantry Regiment. The building presents the appearance of a Regimental Headquarters Building of the 1940s and houses several exhibitions, including a vast array of memorabilia celebrating over 100 years of Arizona military history. Some exhibits include the story of the 1st Arizona Volunteers, the 1895 Spanish American War, the 1916 Mexican Border War, World War I, the Alamo Scouts, and a diorama of Fort Tuthill in 1934. The volunteer staff are very knowledgeable, answering questions and providing guided tours. With admission at only $3, with children and military personnel free, this makes a great historical location to visit any time. -Herman Sims
