If you ever have the chance and you like history, check out this facility. Was amazed at the history and the staff there know all about it.

A converted 1905(?) officers quarters houses two floors of exhibits. First floor tells the story of Fort Whipple thru the late 1890's. Second floor continues the history or the fort and then as a Army hospital and then a VA hospital. Docent was very knowledgeable.
