fort ruins under blue skies with trees on the left

Fort Selden was built near the town of Las Cruces in 1865, and housed troops for 25 years. The fort contained one company of infantry and cavalry, including units of black troops known as “Buffalo Soldiers.” By1890 Apache raiding parties and outlaws were no longer considered threats. In 1891 the federal government decommissioned Fort Selden. A visitor center at the monument offers exhibits on frontier military life during the fort’s heyday. Self-guided walking tours through the adobe ruins are available. This property is on the National Register of Historic Places.
