Fort Union National Monument at Watrous, New Mexico

This picture shows what is the remains of the Hospital of Fort Union.  There were three Forts constructed on this site beginning in 1851.  What remains at the site is the second of these three Forts as well as the ruins of the the third.  Fort Union was basically used as a military base and a key station on the Santa Fe Trail.

  1. Hey Dave.....its Debbie. I love old ruins like this! I would love someday to climb Macchu Picchu, but will probably never do so.
