Fort Verde State Historic Park - Camp Verde, Arizona

Today we visited the Fort Verde State Historic Park. Fort Verde was the base of operations for U.S. Army scouts and soldiers in the 1870s and 1880s. It's considered the best-preserved example of an Indian Wars period fort in Arizona. Several of the original buildings are still standing, including the Commanding Officer's Quarters, Bachelor Officer's Quarters and Surgeon's Quarters.

We also found a few geocaches while driving around town. Then back to the rig to get prepared for tomorrow's departure.

Pretty nice accommodations for a frontier fort.
