点评:Fascinating post-Civil War western post for the period when infantry and cavalry were sent west to "protect" settlers and miners. Three minutes off I-17 and a great stop off if you're on an outbound or return route to Sedona, Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, or like us to Jerome and Prescott.
Four very well preserved buildings surrounding a huge parade ground, including the commanding officer's house (which was super cool), two officer's houses/quarters, the surgeon's home/office and the camp's headquarters all original or nearly so and nicely furnished. This is about the best preserved of the period posts and beautifully maintained by AZ. These aren't ruins but all in ready-to-move-in period-furnished condition. The commanding officer's house had a "three-holer" out back including a child-sized seat. A first for me.
Admission was an easy $7 and well worth it. The park ranger was an excellent docent talking about the period, life on the post, arms of the day, and such. We loved the history and the walk.
翻译:内战后令人着迷的西部哨所,当时步兵和骑兵被派往西部以“保护”定居者和矿工。距离 17 号州际公路仅 3 分钟路程,如果您要前往塞多纳、弗拉格斯塔夫、大峡谷,或者像我们一样前往杰罗姆和普雷斯科特,这里是一个绝佳的中转站。
四个保存完好的建筑围绕着一个巨大的阅兵场,包括指挥官的房子(超级酷)、两个军官的房子/宿舍、外科医生的家/办公室和营地的总部,都是原来的或几乎是原来的,而且布置得很好。这是保存最完好的那个时期的帖子,由 AZ 精心维护。这些不是废墟,但都处于可随时入住的时代家具状态。指挥官的房子后面有一个“三孔”,包括一个儿童尺寸的座椅。对我来说这是第一次。
入场费很简单,只需 7 美元,非常值得。公园管理员是一位出色的讲解员,讲述了那个时期、哨所生活、当时的武器等等。我们喜欢历史和散步。
