26 August, 2010 Fort Verde State Historic Park

Fort Verde State Historic Park is just off I17 and is one of the parks that the State of Arizona closed because of its budget shortfall. The park is now run mostly by volunteers and is only open Thursday to Monday.

The fort was the base for General Crook’s US Army scouts. There are only about 3 or 4 original buildings left as once the fort was closed the buildings were sold at auction and the wood reused.

I think this was one of the original buildings.

This is the Commanding Officers Quarters.

Have fun, we are!
