Fort Stanton Live

If you are looking for action, look no further than Fort Stanton where the annual Fort Stanton Live! event brings costumed re-eanactors from the Civil War and Indian Wars era to the Fort for demonstrations, presentations, a candlelight tour, concert and a military ball which will have visitors dancing into the night!  Additionally, the event brings authors, historians, photographers, artists, and a variety of historical vendors to site to share their crafts and other handiwork.  Special tours of the WW II internment camp are also available – so that one can take a peek back at one of the most important chapters in world history.   Local food vendors are on hand to provide sustenance for your day at the Fort as well, so bring a healthy appetite for knowledge, food and fun.

The grounds of the Fort often serve as the site for other local events. Please check our calendar to see what is coming up.
