Stop number 3 on the museum tour of Tucson. The history of this location was interesting. most of the Civil War history in Arizona was brief and anti climactic. It was a good visit to see the historical building on site.The museum is small and quaint which was enjoyable when you visit huge museums. It only took a few minutes to walk through to see the history of the fort. They even had a bugle that you could play after sanitizing the mouthpiece. My reveille needs some work. LOL. The artifacts were informative along with the information about the Native American history.

We’re going to miss this awesome place. Any wealthy benefactor wanna chime in here and save the day?

Had to see where General Nelson Miles hung his hat during the Apache wars. General Crook met his match with the Apaches all over Arizona. After Geronimo surrendered to Gen. Crook, & went on a drinking binge & fled again with 35 other Apaches. Crook requested a transfer, wanted out. that was admirable for a General to do that, but iam sure it hurt like hell for him. To pass the torch when you know you cant catch a ghost.

This is a little museum. This is not a place you go to dispense circle hours. But if you want a quick brief history of the way military bases were in a past. This is the best place to do it. Others like this cost money. This ones actually free

I love Western history. This place gives you the feeling of what it was like back in the day. Worth visiting

My son and I made candles. Last time we did that he was 6ish; hes 41 now! Nice visit. Museum is quite informative!

Excellent small, free, museum with many unusual exhibited items and excellent explanations.

Cool place especially for first timers to Tucson who are interested in the history of Tucson. Enjoyable.

Mom n I came 2 have r lunch n spend some time toghter after my 2 Dr appts we had r lunch talked n reminisced mom talked about her husband my dad who we lost 8/26/2014 mom enjoyed her outing today with each other

My friend and our dogs very much enjoyed an impromptu drop in to the cute little museum theyve got. They do an excellent job with their 1000 tops square feet. Worth a 30-60 minute stroll anytime you find yourself at this park Thursdays through Saturdays. As a baseball lover, got a big kick out of the 19th century squads with Tucson adorned across their wool knit sweaters. How hot it mustve been standing in Centerfield as the desert heat beat down!

Very limited hours, Thurs-Sat. There is not much of the original fort left you can see. The museum is a recreation of the officers quarters, which is wooden and nicely done. There is stuff to play with. You can put on a period dress or a period cavalry uniform. I am hoping they will be able to refurbish the building across the street (formerly part of the fort) and add to the museum complex.

The fort and the park are wonderful! I took my kids there all the time. I still enjoy walking around especially in the spring when the baby ducklings hatch. Would have given 5 stars but the gopher holes have gotten so bad. Watch your step, ankles beware. Otherwise its a clean beautiful park with walking paths, playground equipment, tennis courts, wide open spaces and a museum where you can learn about some of Tucsons history.

Such a wonderful place to absorb Arizona history.

Great history and presrrved ruins

Nice lil museum with expert (and super nice!) Docents. Only takes 30 minutes or so to explore unless you partake in any activities they have going on. Admission is free, though donating a few bucks will help them out! Well-behaved pets are also welcome.

Lots of history but a bit small. Friendly and very welcoming employees.

Anyone who is in to Old West history needs to visit while in Tucson Az. There are many cool relics from the early days of Arizona, give a glimpse into daily life at a frontier fort.

Best museum Ive ever been to!!! Its small but really brings what happened to life!!

Due to vandalism, access to the ruins is behind a fence, which is unfortunate. The associated museum is great and worth the trip by itself - and its free. The museum covers the history of more than just the old fort.

Building is not the original officers quarters from the mid 1860s. The present structure was built in 1963 it resembles the original built by the calvery in the mid 1860s. Ft. Lowell historical park was in operation from the mid 1860s until early 1890s to house the officers of the calvary. Not open daily, but very informative as to the history of the military outpost.

This is actually worth a stop; especially, if you like military history.

Excellent place to learn about the history of Tucson area. Lots of interesting history

Pretty neat museum hidden away in Fort Lowell park. Worth doing if you are looking for something to do.

When I was a kid and growing up in Tucson, we would actually play in and on Ft Lowell. Of course, we did not destroy anything. We knew how important it was. UNLIKE, those MORONS who moved Boot Hill for a bloody road.

I wasnt expecting much from a small, free museum but this is a terrific collection of artifacts and historical information about the history of the fort and the Apache scouts. Dont miss it!

It was very detailed, and extravagant

Wish I could have seen more of the grounds.

Great museum run by knowledgeable staff.

Quirky museum highlighting the confused history of the US southwest

Free and good history of Tucson and AZ

Park is pretty great. museum is pretty boring

Fun place!

Great add on to Ft. Lowell Park.

Fort Lowell park and the museum are among Tucsons hidden gems.

I play baseball there lol
