White Mountains - Fort Apache

Fort Apache is on the White Mountain Apache Reservation, we started our visit in the museum, they request no photographs inside the museum. We took a seat in a gowa (wikieup) where we watched a DVD explaining the Apache creation story, it is a very interesting museum.

Back outside you can take a walking tour of the fort.

General Crooks Log Cabin.
Officers Quarters.
One of the buildings on the fort is used as the post office for the Fort Apache Area.
The Theodore Roosevelt School still occupies some of the buildings and a lot of renovation work is underway.

It was very hot, but we enjoyed our tour of Fort Apache.

Have fun, we are!
