Although the change of the Fort Bayard landscape is emotionally difficult, it is now time to address the Preservation, Restoration, and Maintenance of Fort Bayard National Historic Landmark. With the support of southwestern New Mexico citizens and tourists who
offer assistance, Fort Bayard. like the mythological phoenix, will rise from the ashes and scars of demolition.
Please add your support as plans are created and the remainder of the site is given a new purpose.
