    "Dagot'ee" (Welcome) and "Ashoog" (Thank you)…read more These are the greetings in the White Mountain Apache Language that you will likely feel when you visit Fort Apache Historic Park for it is a captivating destination that unveils the rich tapestry of history. Walking its grounds connects one to what happened in the past. It was a military outpost in the late 19th century site from the 1800s. This park honors the legacy of a turning point in history between the Apaches and the US Cavalry. Exploring the preserved buildings from over a century ago, over twenty in total, tell their tales. A museum and cafe also sit among the remnants of an Indian boarding school run by the Bureau of Indian Education. Quarters that sheltered officers and barracks for the ranks, with an old graveyard too, show both hardships and triumphs of those who made this place home. Each structure recounts stories of the Apache and soldiers who coexisted through changing times. Today, Fort Apache stands as proof of history that came and links cultures still alive. If you love history like me and want to learn about the life of the Apache tribe from the past to the present, this should not be missed. I, myself, frequent the park every time I pick up my mails since the post office is housed in one of the old structures. Outside the post office, you can also pet friendly dogs of families staying in those barracks. They love to get some treats too.

    Fort Apache is a "must see" for those desiring to learn more about western expansion in the 1800s…read more Many buildings are well-restored and so many others remain from that period that you can imagine how the fort was "back in the day". Most interesting is that the Apaches welcomed the US Army into the stunning valley. One registers at the museum for a nominal fee and then you are free to roam all the property including the original site where the commanding officer lived as well as the continuously functioning US Post Office. And, do not miss lunch in the Arrowhead Cafe. The menu is brief but the food is yummy and freshly prepared. Adjoining the cafe is a shop for products made by Native Americans, even handmade clothes and fabrics to make some. We've lived the Arizona for 40 years and should have come much sooner. Also, a school has been on the property since 1920 and has been continuously occupied since then.

    I am so glad I stumbled on this museum and what rich history this museum has in the small town of…read moreGreer! The museum is only open in the summer and the hours are Thu Fri Sat from 10am - 3pm so I really lucked out to get to enjoy this place on a Friday afternoon. There are a few buildings that house this museum and one being the cabin of JW Schutz, who was a White American but moved to the Crowfeet Nation and later moved to Greer. His son, biracial, known as Lone Wolf was one of the first celebrated Native American artists. The cabin has a lot of history and the docent was very knowledgeable. She also told me about Lone Wolf's wife and how she also painted and beaded. JW Schultz was a writer and wrote some 33 books. I am currently reading his book, My Life as an Indian, as was suggested by the gift shop attendant. This museum also has a great gift shop attached and carrying lot of great books and butterfly items as this museum is known as the butterfly lodge and you will see plenty flying around. In the summer, on Saturdays, there is lots going on here and just check out their website to learn more. I was in town for Greer Days so got to enjoy the museum, gift shop, and also a jazz concert on Saturday night where thr museum also offered up food, hamburgers or brats. I absolutely loved this place and will be back again! And hopefully to close out summer here!!

    What a beautiful place! I was guided by a very informative member with such history and…read moreinspiration! The House Museum was done so well and looked original. The gift shop was also very welcoming and had many treasures. The local stories for this area are incredible too.

    Deming has a legit sandwich shop. The Custom House is a different and unique option for lunch…read more You should visit for the vintage atmosphere. They have a super fun collection of antiques and historical items. The building is beautiful and you can explore while you wait for your food. My eating companions and I had BLT's, chicken salad, and broccoli cheddar soup. Next time I would request my bread be toasted, but otherwise a very standard experience. The iced tea was super good! I will revisit.

    Deming, New Mexico…read more Timestamp: April 2021 Location & Parking: Street. Small town. Handicap: Yes. Hours: Mon - Sat 1230p-4p. Closed on Sunday. Costs: Free Museum Type: Historical Custom House Seaman Field's old home is believed to be this small New Mexico town of Deming's inital customs house. This is speculated to be the original custom house for Deming or the entire Luna County because Mr. Seamen Field set up his home/ranch back in 1848. Mr. Field was also the first bonded customs agent under President G. Cleveland, Deming's first mayor and judge. More info about Mr Field, this abode and related can be found at the Luna County (Columbus) Historical Society (Museum) in Columbus, New Mexico about an hour south of Deming near the Original Mexico border. The home has been refurbished inside and out to resemble the late 1800 and early 1900s rather than it's pure original. The home is in well shape throughout the years and looks nothing like the original abode since we don't know what it really looked like yet still a gem to snoop around the past, learn and be amazed how the people back thing survived. Deming is a small town with limitations. Notable attractions in Deming are the Mimbres Museum across the street, the small Veterans park/memorial across the street and the Luna County Courthouse which is over 100 years old with a cool park to rest up. About one hour north of Deming are: City of Rocks, and Fort Cummings Historical Site and town of Hatch. A further drive is Silver City which has its own set of touristy stuff. About one hour south of Deming are: The mexican border, Luna County Historical Society and the Pancho Villa State Park. About one east is Las Cruces, NM and there is nothing west until you hit Benson, Arizona. Travel safely www.cleeshyun.com @cigarcpa @cleeshyun
